The sweetie and I have always had a pact not to go out to restaurants on really busy holidays. It's always packed, you never get very good service, and the food is usually over or under done due to the rush. Thus was born the Valentine's dinner at home followed by a date night at some later time. Now that we have little kids, this is even more appropriate. This year Delphinium has done all the decorations and the menu will be as follows:
-Beet and goat cheese salad (we'll use a heart cutter on the beets)
-Puff pastry (heart-shaped of course) filled with creamed mushrooms
-Stuffed red peppers filled with tomatoes and rice
-Chocolate cake (baked in my heart pan of course) with whipped cream (dyed with a tiny drop of beet juice)
Sounds delicious - and a lot of work :)
