Friday night has turned into a no-brainer lately...steak, baked potato, and salad. That way I don't have to cook much. I am really needing my break after next week. I'm usually pooped by Friday...I do good to make myself get in the car to go to work by Friday.
Jeanette, the birthday dinner sounds awesome. I want to come to your house!
Hey Jean, we're doing what you're doing tomorrow night!
Daphne
Keep your mind wide open.

Isn't that torte just the best!! A bit of a pain to make with the chocolate glaze, but it's just sooooooo sinful.
Edit to add: I swap out some of the espresso for Chambord liquer.
I've made this for special occasions - mostly teenage daughter's birthday cake - many times. I don't have a pedestal to put the torte on for pouring on the glaze and I came up with putting the torte (on the cardboard disk) on an upside down dinner plate on top of old newspapers. The excess glaze collects on the newspaper that I roll up and throw away.
Now the Chambord is a fabulous suggestion for an addition... we'll try that next time.
