Danielle & I hosted a very successful dinner party last night for Rif & Anna’s birthdays (a success other than the part where I got spattered with hot oil, anyway). We made this recipe, along with couscous and a great candied parsnip dish. Danielle made another beautiful cake (her last creation with Anna is here), and a good time was had by all.

The irony of the weather situation has not passed me by – I’m headed out to Seattle for a frisbee tournament at the end of the week, and the weather there promises to be so much better than it’s been in Boston.
