A Night to Remember. . .




. . .Well at least a meal to remember!  For Valentine's night, Amos and I stayed in, and I must say that as it turned out, we were both quite happy that we did!
 
 
 
 
On Saturday, while I was trying to decide what I should fix for supper, I had decided on steaks (we had 2 fillets in the freezer), baked potatoes with all the fixings, and maybe some sauteed asparagus. 
 
 
For some reason once Sunday rolled around, I was feeling quite creative (and apparently accomplished) so I decided that we would have a slightly more elaborate dinner.

On the Menu:

Shrimp Toast

Beef Wellington

Risotto with Fresh Herbs

Roasted Asparagus with Toasted Almonds, Green Onions, and Asiago Cheese
 
 

The Wellington's waiting to go in the oven. . .
 
 
 

Working on the Risotto. . .
 
 
 

Oh the joy adding a little cheese brings!
 
 
 
The Wellingtons and the Asparagus are out of the oven. . .
 
 
 

The first course. . .Shrimp Toast. . .
 
 
 

Ready for the plates. . .
 
 
 
All plated up and ready to eat. . .
 
 
 
But not without a little Pinot Noir!
 
 
 
 
I just have one word, YUM!  This was a most delicious way to spend an evening with my Valentine!  And, for the record, it was really quite simple. . .Perhaps I'll post some of the recipes soon. . .

Kisses!!!
