Last weekend...

So it's a bit late to be reporting on last weeks cooking adventure, I know. Unfortunately work was really busy this week, and I'm preparing for an interview to make my promotion permanent, so I've been a tad bit preoccupied.


Plus, to make things worse, I forgot to take the all important pictures!!! I really, really, really need to stop drinking wine while I cook dinner, because as soon as my awesome friends arrive I forget to capture the image of my awesome food.


Nonetheless, last weekend I took on a bit of an Italian theme so I cooked:

• Starters: Tomato and basil bruschetta
• Main: Slow braised chicken in white wine with creamy polenta
• Sides: Mozzarella and tomato pasta bake and a green salad, and
• Dessert: Italian potato donuts with chocolate sauce

(Plus a few too many bottles of vino :p)

Yes, that's right - I made donuts from scratch. Very impressed with myself and my friends ate every last bit of it. They were even scraping the last of the hot chocolate sauce out of the bowl. Very fun dinner, evident by the fact that we were too busy eating to take pictures...
