Dinner with a friend

So last night I roasted some breasts and thighs in a marinade with lemon, honey, and olive oil. I baked it with some kalamata olives and whole garlic cloves. We also had gnocchi, which I have to say were beautiful. After some research I found a recipe from Lucinda Quinn who does everyday food for Martha Stewart. She has you bake potatoes, cool then then run them through the ricer. No eggs, just flour and salt to make the dough. They were so great. I used store bought pesto as a sauce. We finished it with some asparagus steamed. For dessert we had brownies and ice cream. Jonah helped himself to the first batch of brownies so I made some more from scratch. I added some powdered espresso to the batter (a la Ina Garten)

I have to say that I was pleased with the meal overall. The chicken was approaching a little dry, but still yummy.
