And yes, there was cake.

Friday night I had a rare treat. I got to cook on my dream stove. Six massive gas burners that, if needed, could sub in for a reactor on Nimitz class air craft carrier. The beauty was the control. Such wonderful control of heat. The kitchen housing this BTU beast is a beauty too and a pleasure to work in. I didn't get to manufacture the entire meal onsite but I was able to finish construction on two rather yummy bowls of lamb and bison 'ragù alla bolognese con pappardelle'. Which I thought I had posted about, but now cannot the post in question. I very well may be loosing my mind.

I really enjoyed the evening. Nice wine, good food, and exquisite conversation.

And yes there was cake. There was also coffee. Little tiny coffee, but strong flavored.

The cake is not mine to post but I can say with all certainty that it was one of the best deserts I have had in many a year.

I am already looking forward to my next opportunity to cook in that kitchen.

Cheers

the ragu kicked the cake's ass bigtime.

The cake was even better Sunday after aging for a couple days in the fridge.
