I really do know that this Saturday is Valentine’s Day – I’ve known it for the past several weeks, and I know enough to let E. know that I know. So, in letting her know that I know that Saturday is Valentine’s Day, I had suggested that we stay at home and I will prepare dinner for her, which she thought was a great idea. Back in the day, when we were younger and had much more time, it was not an uncommon occurrence for me to prepare dinner for my significant other, but in the past few years those occurrences have really been few and far between, which is really a shame, since I do enjoy preparing a special dinner, and I am usually pretty good at it.
Anyway, so now that the plans are laid, the critical decision of what to prepare remains. I’m thinking perhaps shellfish… I recently read from a friend a recipe for a remoulade, which caught my attention as being something I’d love to try (thank you, Bubs); another friend recommended a Piper Sonoma Brut sparkling wine, which I believe will be a perfect match (thank you, missmew.)
I must admit at this point I am totally intrigued and pretty damn excited about getting back to work in the kitchen.
