Flourless Dark Chocolate Cake With Almonds.

This past week I made a flourless cake. This was my first time making one of these and let's just say that it will not be my last. It was so good and so rich and definitely a winner with the husband. Add some berries on top and it will win over any (dark) chocolate lover. I have to thank my sister for this idea!

Recap

So, yet again, it's been awhile. However, lately I've been thinking about how I should be documenting this journey in NY and keeping up with my little blog. So here I am. Since I haven't posted since last Fall, I have a lot to fill you in on but I'll just use some pictures to do so. Basically, we have been adjusting quite well over here in Brooklyn. We are loving the experience and exposure to different cultures, etc. We have really enjoyed exploring the city, restaurants, museums and everything else over here. There are times where it's a bit hard but that is only because P and I love nature and being outdoors and thats hard to find here without venturing outside the city limits. Last November, I was hired at a nearby hospital as a Labor and Delivery nurse! Although it has definitely been quite an adjustment, I am loving this field and the people that I work with. P has been working at a couple of museums around the city including MoMa, MoMa PS1, and the Tally Beck Contemporary Gallery. He is learning so much and has really gained a lot of skills and insight into this field. It's also really nice because with his MoMa affiliation, we get free admission to all of the museums around the city. Woo! Over these last few months, we've had many friends and our families visit. We miss them dearly and are looking forward to going back home for a visit sometime this summer. Here are some pictures from the last couple of months--Enjoy!
