Food is Love

Tim and I aren't very big Valentine's Day fanatics. We both think it's sort of a stupid day, and don't much buy into the commercialism of it all, but we always do make a gourmet meal every year. Hey, any occasion to celebrate that involves a good meal-- I'm all for it! We share the same passions for food and it's great that we aren't picky and like to try new things all the time. We'll try anything once! I love experimenting in the kitchen and trying new recipes. I really do enjoy cooking and take pride that we have so many healthful, homecooked meals. I'm sure my mom is surprised at this since she always said that growing up, she could never get me in the kitchen!
For this year's meal, Tim made his famous prime rib! It's a pretty secret recipe that he used when he owned the cafe' here, and many people can attest to it's greatness! I was in charge of baked lobster tails. We also had a spinach salad with a homemade vinaigrette, fabulous herbed, twice-baked potatoes and potato and rosemary bread-- all washed down with a delectable Chardonnay! It was such a great meal and we stuffed ourselves! It didn't even compare to the finest restaurants. It's so much fun cooking together and we like fancy pants meals once in awhile. Bon' Appetit!
