Our friends Jocelyn and Nancy came over tonight and all four of us made dinner together. Pork Wellington,
Crash Hot Potatoes and
Chocolate Lava Cake. I can't take credit for any of the recipes, I borrowed all of them.
It was a lot of fun and all of the food was great.
For the Pork Wellington, you saute mushrooms and onions, stuff them inside a pork loin then roll that in prosciutto

Then that whole thing is wrapped in puff pastry dough.
Meanwhile, the potatoes are boiling and once those are done we SMASH them (sorry this was too intense for pictures)
Once we get the dinner items in the oven we start the batter for the chocolate lava cakes
You have to separate eggs
Melt chocolate into butter
Mix in some sugar and flour
Put it in the greased cups
Have a little pink wine out of a tumbler
Snack on some sausage and cheese
FINALLY the food is ready to come out of the oven. But the wellington has to rest for 10 minutes!
But finally, its dinner time
NOM! NOM! NOM!
Throw the lava cakes in the oven while eating.
If the lava cakes won't come out of their ramekins intact, that's okay, spoons work!
Matthew, do you like chocolate?
Play an enthusiastic game of Farkle to work off some calories
And round off the evening with a bit of snow
I will post the Pork Wellington recipe I used soon.
