And was greatly appreciated by the lass for whom it was cooked. Black-Tulip came over for dinner and a movie. I finally fixed my blender (sidenote: WOOHOO!), so I made cream of carrot soup, which she had for the first time and found delish. Then I made my ever so famous penne in cream sauce du jour. It's loosely based on a carbonara, but usually changes every time I make it. This day's version had chicken breast, mushrooms, shallots, white wine (the little riesling I'd brought back from Sattui), butter, cream and loads of freshly grated parmesan. A cholesterol special, but damn, it was probably my best one yet. That also went down with great fanfare. After that, we settled down to watch the Italian job and then talked about my trip after the movie.
She's now safe at home, and I'm going off to bed.
Nighters all.
