Valentine's Day

It was a somewhat glamorous affair in the kitchen last night. Food-wise, we decided to go big for V-day- but making everything ourselves, of course! We started slow, with a selection of cheeses, salami and water crackers- sorry no photo. I am sure you can imagine it though..

Next, I made these mushrooms that are stuffed with blue cheese, caramelized onions, garlic and topped with panko flakes.

Dinner came third. Earlier in the day, I picked up one really large lobster tail from our local butcher, as well as a small Fillet Mignon to split. Both were smothered in garlic butter. I broiled the lobster, and pan-grilled the steak, then topped it with mushrooms sauteed in balsamic vinegar. The surf and turf was served with white chocolate mashed potatoes and grilled asparagus.

Yum.



And for dessert:

Everything was washed down with a nice Chardonnay.
