V-Day: Phoning It In
posted: 02/15/08

As you may or may not recall, last year my wife and I started a tradition of cooking a meal together for Valentine's Day. This year... well, someone cooked. That someone was me. And I'm cool with that.

We've been busy. Unbating winter weather and its attendant plowing and shovelling has taken the wind out of the sails. We're tired. Last year we puzzled for weeks over the menu like it was one of those impossible acrostics the Brits seem to love so much. This year... more a game of Tic-Tac-Toe. And we're cool with that.

First Course
Yeah. Um. We didn't have one.

Main Course
Trout almondine
Roasted asparagus with fleur de sel et poivre
Wild rice

Dessert
Butterscotch freakin' puddin' with delicate dark chocolate wafer and chocosauce

Vin
2006 Hedges C.M.S Chardonnay | Mersault | Sauvignon Blanc

And it was good. And lovey. And easy. And there's nothing wrong with that.

Bon appetit!
