Instead of going to dinner like Adam and I often do on Valentine's Day, we treated our children to a fancy dinner at home. It was a seven course meal. There is no end of wonder at a seven course meal if you are a kid...this we learned.
Adam was the genius (and cook) behind the magic. For your viewing pleasure (and so I can have a record to show our children: see we did do nice things for you that one time), our meal:
The Appetizer:
bruschetta and crostini
The Soup:
coconut chicken curry soup (purchased soup...he's only one man)
The Salad:
caprese salad (one of my contributions)
The Sorbet:
lemon sorbet: "to cleanse the palette"
we weren't messing around
The entree:
thyme steak, shrimp, sauteed mushrooms and asparagus, baby potatoes, spreadable pesto cheese...it was all so amazing...
the servings were small, they had to be, it was so much food
Dessert:
raspberry mousse from L'Artisan, the local French bakery
Janet introduced us to these marvels of culinary enchantment.
We may never be the same.
The Cheese Course:
we sampled double gloucester, havarti dill, and cheddar with smoked salmon
ahhhhhh
Our children and I decided I should hang up my apron and let Adam do the cooking from now on.
He said, "I couldn't do this every night."
I told him he could start with every other night and work up from there. We're patient like that.
