Last Thursday I was talking with a friend about going out to dinner before going to an event at work.  We picked a few places we wanted to go, she walked away and I thought to myself, ‘self, you can’t really afford to drop $50 on dinner, and for god’s sake your a freaking chef’.  So I calmly went into her office and invited her over to my house for dinner.  I didn’t do anything fancy, just went to the store, got some salad greens, cucumber and we made a salad with the roast chicken that I cooked in the last video.  She brought wine and we both spent $8 on the evening.   I would even argue that we had a much better time than going out to a restaurant.  Secretly, in my mind, I’m beginning to think that I might just have friends over for dinner from now on.  It’s so much cheaper and so much more fun to sit around the dinner table and leisurely talk, eat etc.

So last night I had a few friends over for dinner and made a pasta dish called Pasta Alla Vodka.  I filmed it for my next episode so look for that the next few days. Here’s a sneak peek at the final result!  Have a great week everyone.
