I had a dinner party tonight with the folks who were in the cooking class I taught at ArtSpace DC this winter.  The company was great.  The food was pretty good, too . . . six courses that I'll tell you about in the coming days.  But, for tonight, I just wanted to let you know that the dessert was plate-licking good to at least one guest.  It's the highest compliment I've ever been paid for my cooking.  So I pulled out my camera.  Alright, I'm off to bed and, after an on-me work day tomorrow, I'll be off to drink whiskey and celebrate St. Paddy's Day prematurely with my woman and the Pogues tomorrow night.  But it's my sincerest hope that I'll be back to document tonight's meal within a couple of days.  Thanks to my guests tonight.  I had a blast cooking with and for you and, more importantly, getting to know you.  Happy St. Paddy's Day, folks.
