Cocktail Party
Amy and I had a cocktail party tonight, for Jay's birthday. Donna and Dave came over to help celebrate. All of the appetizers were excellent. I think everyone liked the quesadillas best. The beef rolls were also really good, and were really easy to make. The cake was excellent. So chocolatey and rich. Jay loved it.
Both cocktails were really good. More on the sweet side, but yummy.
