Valentine's Dinner
A friend and I are cooking a V-day dinner on Saturday for our husbands. I have no idea what we should make (and neither does she).
Anyone have any good ideas? I know for dessert we are doing a berry cobbler but that's as far as we've gotten.
Surprise! It's Identical TWINS! Girls born at 34w1d.
Re: Valentine's Dinner
Most men love steak but without a grill, I'm not sure if it can be done nicely in the house.
Is there anything specific/special that they really like but don't get too often because it's a PITA to make?
MH pretty much will eat anything. He's never mentioned a "favorite" food that I make that's complex. Honestly as long as there is food on the table, he's happy.
I don't think using the grill will be possible - it's under quite a bit of snow right now.
This came to mind and is what I wanted to do for us (but there's no way I'll have the time or equipment) - Individual Beef Wellington. I have a recipe at home that I'd made once before when we had another couple over. It's kind of a putzy recipe, but quite impressive and since it's so putzy, feels special.
The hardest part is making is if people like steaks done so dramatically different (ie: I like my steak medium, medium-rare. One of our guests likes his well done. (What a waste of a steak, IMO, as well.))
I'd do something like that (I can't find the exact recipe online - there are dozens though.) Pair with some roasted asparagus or green beans, a nice salad and some wine... Mmmmmm!
You could always do a pasta dish - stuffed shells, manicotti, lasagna, etc.
Or Chicken Cordon Bleu. Someone in my Google Reader just posted that not too long ago.
