Valentines Recap.
16 years ago
Valentines was awesome. we leveled to 80 in WoW and I made an all chocolate feast. the featured ingredient was a tin of Green & Black's organic cocoa powder. the dinner menu was as follows:
1st course- chocolate fruit soup - thick and flavorful, this amuse buche is served warm, in a demitasse cup, garnished with a banana slice. strong flavors of blueberry, banana and tangerine.
2nd course- Spicy Cocoa Black Bean Soup - black beans and fresh vegetables, herbs and spices give this brothy soup an earthy kick. cumin, garlic, and spicy paprika are used in conjunction to bring out the savory side of the cocoa powder.
3rd course- Roasted Vegetables - onions, corn and green beans tossed in olive oil, salt, garlic and cocoa powder, then roasted to perfection.
4th course- Chicken Mole` served with spanish rice - Rice, olives, tomatoes and paprika served beneath a bone-on chicken breast baked in rich mole sauce, with vegetables, almonds, dried cranberries, and sesame seeds.
5th course- Red velvet cupcakes - deliciously moist and fluffy, these cupcakes are topped with a strawberry-chocolate cream cheese-yogurt frosting.
so there it is. I hope that was fun for y'all. I served two portions to his parents, then waited until they were done and we ate the last two portions.
after dinner, we snuggled for a bit, then I took a shower and when I came back, er.. vlad had our valentines day evening plans all laid out on the bed. *^.^*

Glad you had an awesome day.
That menu is inspired and looks like a belt unbuckling feast.
I wish the hotels had kitchens for the guests. We've GOT to collaborate on something.
That looks just incredible.
Now, how about a meal with tea?
I would like to see us play Mystery Basket sometime. =3
Mystery Basket?
What is that, praytell?
it's kind of like the show Chopped, only a little less freakish. =D it's my favorite cooking game, and it was the final project for my Restaurant Production class. my three ingredients were Udon Noodles, Kabocha squash and Pork. =3
