We celebrated valentines day by eating butter and cheese and cream and booze. On a weekday even. Scandalous.
We started with some cosmos. New for me in 2008 is drinking vodka, which means I get to welcome fru fru drinks into my life. That much work to make a drink, does put some constraints on things... The menu was taken from a few of my favorite recipe sources. Cooking for Engineers, Simply Recipes and the good ol' type your ingredients into google.
Tonights Menu:
- Fruity drinks, goat cheese and Essential Rosemary Crackers
- Valentime's salad with roasted beets, blood oranges, almonds, blue cheese, french salad mix, with blood orange vinagrette
- Mushroom Risotto which was good, but very rich and I think the recipe made enough for 8? Well we had a lot left over, and its the kind of thing one could tire of so I think we will freeze some
- We washed it down with a bottle of Erath Pinot Noir
- Then started a round of Carcasonne
- We finished things with Chocolate Souffle
All in all it was a nice evening. Free from work and school.
