We attended a Super Bowl party at the home of friends last night (Yay Giants!). The Ninja had requested a chocolate cake. I made this devastating Flourless Chocolate Cake which is very unhealthy. People with cholesterol problems should not even be in the same zip code with it. But it is truly amazing. Thank you, Ann Hodgman.

Chocolate Angels for the New Year
We spent New Year's Eve at the home of friends, whom we've known since their son attended Tutor Time with The Ninja, 10 years ago. Had a good time with a congenial group of people. The Ninja spent the evening in the basement with the other young teenage boys, playing intense video games. Toots stayed upstairs with the adults - there were no other girls in attendance. She didn't appear to overeat wildly, and didn't have any meltdowns or inappropriate expressions of boredom.
We brought several desserts. The best was Chocolate Angel Pie, which I have now made twice, to rave reviews each time. Not-too-sweet chocolate mousse in a meringue crust. The recipe comes from Allrecipes: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/chocolate-angel-pie/detail.aspx. I highly recommend it.
This afternoon, Toots is over at a friend's house. All her friends are people she's been in various placements with, which means they all have "issues" of various kinds. Friend B. is back living with her family, and appears to have it together, pretty much. Since Toots has missed out on so many of the normal experiences of adolescence, and doesn't have friends in our neighborhood, we're glad that she has friends within driving distance from home, to spend time with.
