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. This blended cocktail was so fruity and delicious. To eat I had two Carne Asada Street Tacos and a Birria Poquitos Burrito. The Burrito was small and served with a side of Consommé sauce. Both food items were tasty and satisfying.  My husband also had some Street Tacos and a Margarita from the happy hour menu. My sons had a Cheese Quesadilla and beans and rice.

Chocolate Walnut Fudge

Fudge!  Who doesn't just love it?  Especially to eat around Christmas.  Two years ago I found a recipe for Chocolate Walnut Fudge with Sea Salt while watching the Today Show with Hoda and Kathy Lee.  I wrote down the recipe and made it.  The fudge was a hit and even though I gave some away I had lots left and I remember eating it through New Years'.  The recipe calls for sea salt and I didn't have any so I used regular table salt.  This year, armed with sea salt, I made the fudge yesterday and I loved the addition.  It calls for a dash, but I used about four dashes and the salty taste is a welcome surprise with the semi sweet chocolate and walnuts. 

                                                           Chocolate Walnut Fudge

3 c. semi sweet chocolate chips
1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
dash, or a few, of sea salt
1 c. walnuts
1 1/2 t. vanilla

Line 8 or 9 inch square pan with foil and melt chocolate chips with sweetened condensed milk and salt over low heat.  Remove from heat and stir in nuts and vanilla.  Spread into pan and chill for 2 hours.  Cut into pieces.  Store in refrigerator.  Try not to eat the whole batch to yourself.  Sharing is caring!
