Wonderful evening (and leftovers this morning)

I’ve been having lots of fun that I’ve been too busy to post about, but I had to pop in here to mention an especially fabulous date with [livejournal.com profile] cathijosephine last night. In my experience, her culinary experiments almost always turn out very well. Last night’s involved wrapping various savory and sweet things — Italian sausage, mushrooms, finely-chopped Parmesan cheese, amazing roasted garlic, cottage cheese, and honey, if I’m not forgetting anything — in phyllo dough and baking them, which we did for most of the evening, whilst nibbling on edamame (and occasionally each other, of course) and drinking dirty gin martinis in [livejournal.com profile] cathijosephine’s new martini glasses. Oh, my, the food was so good! And we had lots of leftovers — both ingredients and completed pastries — so this morning we breakfasted on the sweet ones and [livejournal.com profile] cathijosephine added an egg to the sausage and mushrooms and made me something that was sort of like stir-fry (because she only had one egg, and there was a lot of sausage and mushrooms); it was really yummy. And we both took more pastries for lunch today.

The rest of the night was spectacular, too. And we slept really well.

Also, I’m giving myself a reminder to myself to post about my friends Jackie and Sandy from Illinois at some point.

And she makes great cookies!

Ah! Well. She is a conduit for the good cookies. *nod*

I stumbled across "Epicure" a while back. It might do...

It's wonderful to see you so happy! I like cathijosephine, and I haven't even met her yet. :-)

Dirty gin? Is that the kind that you make in bathtubs? :)
