Winter italian

Finding delicious sweet tomatos in December is difficult. I didn't manage to do it so my italian(ish) tomato soup was also about canned whole tomatos and dried tomatos. With lentils, basil and cream.

Having only two pots sets some limits to dinner serving,  mushroom-olive and pepper-mozzarella bruschettas were prepared in oven so there was another pot available for apple-saffron mulled wine. Nothing even remotely italian about that but hey, it is cold outside.

I had high hopes for the dessert and I wasn't disappointed: 2 kind of chocolate truffles, 2 kind of cookies, 3 kind of pastries. And dark chocolate.
