Friday night was a spectacular disaster. I decided to have taco night at the BDL and invited over Debbie & Molly (Darren came too, but he'd already eaten). Debbie promised to bring flan, and Molly showed up around 8pm with wine. I got a text from Debbie that she was running late...she was having some sort of a fight with her flan. Sooooo Molly and I drank the wine and waited, waited waited for Debbie and the flan to arrive. Eventually, around 10pm the flan arrived with Debbie and taco night began. My turkey tacos were DELICIOUS! Yum. I think that tacos are the perfect food....actually Mexican food is just my favorite food ever and the only thing I really know how to make.
When it came time for dessert...we got my dessert cups out and Debbie served us something that resembled cat puke. It's ok...I knew it was going to taste good....Debbie MADE IT, how could it be anything less than the best flan you've ever had?
Well, even the top chefs have their bad days. What ever this was it was poison. Yuck. It was so sweet it was impossible to swallow. Oh well. But I do feel some sort of triumph in knowing Deb for almost 10 years and this is the first thing she has ever made that no one liked, and I was there to witness it? What are the chances of that? The odds are outstanding! I should buy a lottery ticket.
Anyway, with no dessert to be had we all decided to go meet Tim at M Shanghai and have our dessert there. Fun fun!

I think you captured Darren's "come hither" side brilliantly.

I've always wondered how you and Smitten Kitchen know each other...through blogging?

Nope. We were friends before either of us had a blog. We met through Really Gay Dave...who was roommates in college with my cousin Jacquelyn.

Debbie started blogging first and then I was inspired by her and started Rock Star Diary.

I have actually known both RGD and Jaquelyn since we were freshmen in college. We lived on the same floor of our dorm! (Aw.) Oh, and then at the end of the year Dave came out of the closet and I was like, oh, I wasn't supposed to already know that you were gay? Uh, okay, then I didn't! I digress. I met Joc through Jacquelyn. Then, Dave and my first year in NYC when we knew almost nobody, Joc took us under her wing and we spent most of the year in her Greenpoint loft, at Blackout Betty's or Planet Thai. It was an awesome year.

Ahhhhh The Greenpoint Loft and Black Betties (fondly referred to as BLACKOUT Betties) those were the days!
