Fun at Maggiano's


Seems all we do is go out to eat.. tee hee, but THAT's REALLY NOT THE CASE !

Even so, here are some pictures of our evening with some great old college friends. Robert just had heart surgery, so this was his first big outing.... And he even got to have ONE glass of red wine to boot ! (After all, his birthday is tomorrow)-MAGGIANO'S restaurant is fabulous, with great tasting food, and huge portions !! They even recommend that you split orders, or even half orders, which we did... Plenty, believe me... and the salad, "the Maggiano salad", that is, has huge golf ball size chunks of blue cheese all through it. (We LOVE blue cheese at our house)
I made his favorite chocolate cake, which we had when we got back to our house after dinner...
The recipe is from http://www.epicurious.com and is called Chocolate Whiskey Bundt Cake
It is made in a bundt pan, with no icing, and it has coffee and 1/2 cup of Jack Daniels in it !
Since there was no icing, I served it with a little scoop of white ice cream (vanilla) ha !

the epicurious website is GREAT, for those of you new to the joy of online recipes. It's free, and so quick! You can even keep your selected ones in a file to reuse (on the site)
