I’m loving the recent weather in Maryland. I had my first dinner party outside this past weekend. We didn’t sit down to eat till 8 so everyone got a blanket just in case they got a little chilly. It was a great time with good friends, good food and good wine! I tried a new Paella recipe that you make on the grill with lobster. It had the most amazing flavor and I highly recommend you try it! Click here and scroll down to the Paella recipe. Below in the lower left corner you can see a picture of the dish…

For desert I made dark chocolate mousse from the Bouchon cookbook. I’ve never been to Napa Valley, but when I go, I will definitely be eating at Bouchon Bistro. I love everything I’ve tried in their cook book. Years ago I even bought the lidded pot de creme molds to serve mousse. We like mousse so much it was worth the splurge.
