200th Post!

Hold your applause, please. Small gifts of chocolate will suffice.

We're kicking off our Friday by having a young German friend over for dinner. The last time he visited us, we grilled something, and I made an all-out attempt to create a very "American" supper for his cultural enjoyment (scary, isn't it?). I was especially proud of my plate of deviled eggs. Of course, when Jorg asked me why they're called "deviled eggs," I couldn't answer him. So much for the cultural experience.

Tonight, we'll be feasting on Eric's gourmet pizza (a word of Italian origin) and a salad of spring greens with my homemade soy-ginger dressing (soy and ginger both hailing from the Orient). Hopefully I won't have to answer any difficult questions about the food.

Rachel made her World's Best Fudge for dessert, so I'll have my chocolate fix.

Candles, freshly grated Parmesan, lipstick, and a crisp, autumn evening. Check.

Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!

"deviled" any variety of food prepared with hot seasonings, such as cayenne or mustard. the word derives from the association with the devil who dwells in hell.

Oh, hope you had a great night! I'm sure the pizza dinner was as American as anything on a grill!

Pizza sounds good. But share with the class some of that fudge. Hmmm.
