Sweet Indulgences
Inspired by Julia Child, for my dinner party last night in honor of a friend’s birthday, I cooked decadent food. Mini cream puffs stuffed with goat cheese, a French pot roast with mashed potatoes and chocolate lava cake for dessert. The guests seemed satisfied. Every once in awhile, you just have to go for it.

Wow! Lucky friend!!
Also, slow-roasted cherry tomatoes with mozzarella. I cooked all weekend, and it made me very happy.
Very inspiring, I wish that I could cook like that. I’m more of a baker. And yes, I agree, that full feeling after eating lots of good food is the best!
I love to bake even more than cook, which is why I often include items like mini cheese puffs as a first course in my menu. That way, I get to bake a couple of times for the meal.
How do I get on your guest list?
There were just 4 of us. A very manageable guest list. And I didn’t use the dining room. We just sat on the floor in the living room around the coffee table. Very casual and cozy.
Sounds like perfection!
Good thing about cooking is you get the leftovers. Cold pot-roast sandwich. Yum!
How wonderful. Entertaining good friends is the best!
It’s one of my favorite things to do.
