It's Me!

Ok ok ok. It's been a minute. I've been otherwise occupied. Being a mom to a toddler is rather consuming, plus we've had several snow days, I've been working on a car and playing domestic diva. Let's see... What to talk about....

I know!

Happy Valentine's Day!

I heart Valentine's day. 11 years ago this evening, my beloved husband asked me if I wanted to be his girlfriend. *sigh* He can be so darn romantic!  Years ago, we abandoned going out to eat on this heart-y day- too many people to fight and generally poor service.  So instead, we go out another night, but I like to make some nice dinner for the day. Soo.... Here's my proposed meal plan for tonight.  I loove cooking, so it makes me happy. And this year we'll have a little bear to enjoy the dinner with us!

Appetizer:  I'm drawing a blank. I'll have to revisit this.

Salad:  Caesar salad, bagged salad that is. :o) Gotta conserve time when possible, right?

Main course:  Shrimp and salmon over couscous with a cream sauce. Rolls (yes premade. sheesh. doughs haven't liked me much lately). Roasted potatoes.

Dessert:  Chocolate dipped strawberries and homemade whipped cream.


Sounds yummy, right? Need to decide on the cream sauce. Do I want just a basic cream or do I want more of a buerre blanc? He prefers the buerre blanc, but that means I'll need to pick up wine and butter.  And a shallot or two. That's fine. he loves it, and it would be a nice topper for the seafood.
