Chef Jupe

Tonight I cooked dinner.  It may not sound like an event to you, but it’s quite rare for me.  Not only is it a novel occassion in its own right, but the meal turned out really good.  My critic (Justin) gave it a 9/10.  Bueno!

The dish was the ever-so-healthy penne a la vodka.  OK, maybe it’s not healthy – but it is good!  I made it pretty much exactly like the recipe instructs.  I only added a little cayenne pepper to the sauce.  I also braised chicken in olive oil with just some salt and pepper.  Sliced that up and it went on top (as did crushed red pepper on mine).  So yummy!  I should’ve taken a photo.  It was pretty and pink too.

Mom gave Justin and I a bottle of Riesling that she acquired on her drive back from Chicago with Val! (they were roadtrip buddies).  It went perfectly with the dish.  I know you’ll want to make it now. :)  If you do – let me know how it goes!

I also finally got around to added photos of Halloween.  I was probably motivated because both Alex and Marisa put up photos of their recent trip to Aruba. Now if I ever get around to adding our fall foliage shots of Portland, ME…
