Ladies Lunch

Every other Friday everyone at my office is allowed an hour and a half for lunch. Since I am off Fridays I invited three of my closest work friends over for a little luncheon (a free lunch made by me has to be as good as going to Ruby Tuesday's right?). Sylvia wasn't able to make it... but Dawn, Misty, Emma and I enjoyed ourselves. On the menu: a salad of arugula and watercress, prosciutto, fried goat cheese, honey and a fig balsamic vinaigrette; orange balsamic glazed open faced chicken sandwiches with caramelized onions; and chocolate molten lava cakes with chili-chocolate whipped cream, all washed down with iced tea and frozen lemonade (sort of an Arnold Palmer slushie). It was nice to see those ladies I don't get to see for very long because of my crazy work schedule, and a good chance for me to do some cooking! Jake was a little disappointed that I didn't cook for him (like he would eat goat cheese anything!) so the next day I made him pineapple upside down pumpkin gingerbread.
