Our friends Laura and David had us over for dinner tonight. David was in charge of grilling the chicken breasts, tomatoes, and summer squash. They were all delicious! Laura made an amazing and simple flavored oil to toss the pasta with. The pasta dish, Aglio Et Olio, is basically pasta with oil and garlic. I didn't see the exact recipe she followed, but it included simmering minced garlic and red pepper flakes in oil until the garlic was crispy, but not burned. She removed the crispy garlic and pepper flakes and drizzled the infused garlic over the pasta. The crispy bits were served on the side for more kick.
We brought a green salad with pears, Craisins, and a balsamic vinaigrette to go with the meal. For dessert, they offered us David's mom's famous mint, chocolate brownies. We were fortunately to be introduced to these brownies almost a year ago when they got married. Our eyes lit up when we saw them on a plate:) Tonight, after dinner, they introduced us to Kinect. What fun! We plugged holes in a glass box, jumped in a large river raft, and looked ridiculous doing it. Katie even got into it, jumping for everything.
