Happy Valentine's Day!
Happy Valentine's Day to all! I am planning a lovely little dinner for the DH and myself which will include chocolate wine! Yes... chocolate wine. I had some at a friend's home and it was so delicious, I think it will be perfect for tonight. More chocolate for dessert - DH has a real sweet tooth.
I am marinating a flank steak in wine - not the chocolate stuff - olive oil, onion and garlic, and a little salt. That will tenderize it nicely. Along with the steak, roasted potatoes which I toss with olive oil, salt and pepper and then dot with butter - the butter just gives it the right finishing yummy touch. Of course, we must have a green, so spinach sauteed with garlic and butter. Oooh - I can't wait. Personally, I think garlic is an aphrodisiac.
Dessert - brownies with a little scoop of coffee ice cream on top and a dollop of whipped cream to go along with the chocolate wine.
What about the rest of you - making anything special for your Valentine's dinner or are you going out?
Deliciously yours,

Happy 200th Birthday, Charles!
Happy 200th Birthday, Charles Dickens!
And many thanks for all the hours of pleasure
reading your novels and about your life.
And now... my morning cup of tea and a Sherlock Holmes pastiche, Shadowfall - Arthur Conan Doyle being another favorite author. This novel starts out on a promising note - a visit from Titania, Queen of Fairies!
Deliciously yours,
Mrs. K
