Happy Birthday China(10/1),E(10/2), and Moon Festival(10/3)-- a no-cake birthday dinner

A chocolate greeting from Gaogao for the coming winter

It is getting cold and I was thinking about doing something that can warm my friends. So I came up with an idea of a hot chocolate kit. I shaved two kinds of chocolate: dark chocolate, Mexican chili chocolate. I made it as a gift box, I put it cinnamon sticks, dried chili pepper, marshmallow. And when I was going to give it to E , I just found her birthday was coming. It was like anther' dreams come true' surprise. :)

So let'a celebrate"

China's birthday, E's birthday, Moon Festival's birthday

1st course: Pork tenderloin nugget with apple sage onion sauce

2nd course: Proscuitto wrapped fig

3rd course: Apple Pecan Fennel Salad with Apple cider vinaigrette

4th course: coffee rubbed rib eye with horseradish butter

About the mashed potato:
It has to be yukon potato, then you can just play it with milk, butter, cream(optional). Super creamy
Horseradish butter: butter, horseradish, soy/worcestershire sauce, wine

To Cindy: Happy holiday ( somebody asked to remember to wish you a happy national/independent day, plus a coming moon festival :)
