Happy Hour and Dessert in Capitol Hill

  Happy Hour Street Tacos with Carne Asada and a Miami Vice from Poquitos.  Poquitos is located in Capitol Hill and they're serving up authentic Mexican cuisine and cocktails. Their happy hour deal is a good one- during Ocho hour, everything on the happy hour menu is just $8! I went with a Miami Vice, a classic Pina Colada with Strawberry.

Chocolate Italian Love Cake

This year for Valentine's Day I baked a Chocolate Italian Love Cake.  What's unique about it?  The chocolate cake layer and the ricotta cheese layer switch while baking.  It's magic and it also tastes yummy.  It bakes for one hour and needs to be refrigerated for at least six hours.  So it isn't a super fast recipe from start to finish but when its baking your whole house will smell like chocolate and that's no joke.  In fact the longer it stays in the refrigerator the better it will taste.  That way the flavors have more of a chance to set up.  I noticed that cheesecake does the same thing.  So cuddle up with your Valentine and eat cake, I'm gonna! I found the recipe here.
