Valentine's Dinner






I love it when holidays fall on Sunday. It usually means instead of a restaurant meal (although M was treated to one of her favorites, Mi Amigos, on Friday) we plan and prepare a "fun" meal at home.

Cooking with J is one of my favorite things. Here was the menu:

Tederloin stake with sauteed mushrooms
Ceasar salad with olives and tomatoes
Thanksgiving Green bean casserole
Home baked French Frys with gravy (our attempt to remake a favorite treat from J's childhood)

Dessert: Strawberries and Lemon Cream in Phyllo Shells


It all tasted wonderful, and the company was superb. We're not gourmets, but the dinner tasted better than any we've had at a restaurant. It was almost too good to be true... but then I turned around and remembered one big advantage of eating at a restaurant:
THE DISHES!
