Anybody cooking for Valentine's Day?

[Phentex]

I asked the family for some ideas and all they care about are cupcakes. :)

I'm thinking of this filet mignon recipe from epicurious:

Looks simple. Or I may just do the meat with a chive butter.

Whatcha making?

1. I made a card from a photo and chocolate chip cookies.

I put the cookies in a cute box but couldn't find any ribbons, so I wrapped them with mementoes from last year's good times (opera ticket stubs, a chip of turquoise, a loose pearl, a tiny bouquet of fabric flowers) and wrote a poem. I won't know whether I'll be cooking or not until I learn whether he remembered to make reservations somewhere. Filet mignon with chive butter sounds awesome. :hi:

2. That's a very heartfelt gift!

I usually make a card but I feel like skunk-doo today.

I still have a little time to get off the computer and make something...

:hi:

3. Chocolate chip cookies is the only thing he mentioned

that he wanted since last fall! Well, he did shout out for new undies a couple of weeks ago but we took care of that already. :rofl: He just emailed that we will be dining at Il Sorriso at 7:30. Yummy Italian specialties. I'm psyched. Have a great holiday! :fistbump:

4. Lamb Dhansak

over basmati with eggplant and steamed cauliflower to cool the burn.

we got an injection of Geeta's at the local British Import store...
the jar said medium.... :blush: I'm not so sure...:rofl:


I think your fillet with chive butter will be wonderful!

[yellerpup]

5. Oooh! Spicy lamb and eggplant...

love that combinations. :evilgrin: Hot is good!

[Phentex]

10. Yum!

I'm craving cauliflower. An odd thing to crave but there it is.

How spicy was the dhansak?

[Tesha]

17. Oh - it was lovely...

The cauliflower was smooth and fresh...

and the dhansak wasn't very hot on first tasting - but it left my lips tingling and a sheen of persperation on my forehead...

it was juuuust right!:9

I'm so tired I'm going to bed veddy veddy early tonight!
