Brian and I aren't big on going out to dinner on V Day. It was an experience from ten years ago that ruined it....reservations at a well-known Italian restaurant in the city. Only to have to wait over an hour after our reservation at a crowded bar that was packed tight like sardines. From then on most of our Valentine's Day dinners have been at home. I say "most" because one of our best was a hockey game and subs at D'Angelos. I'm being serious, it was fun and I can't remember what year it was.
So scenes from this year's dinner. First, let me tell you that the kids had chicken nuggets and mac n cheese in front of the TV. Anything to keep them happy so we could enjoy our meal and each other's company.
First, bruschetta on pizza crust. Fresh, garlicky and delightful.
Then, the main course. NY strip steak with red wine sauce, snow crab legs, baked potato and asparagus with parmesan.
And an hour or two later while watching TV, homemade molten chocolate cake with a little vanilla ice cream.
With dinner like that, why go out?? Happy Valentine's Day!
