Valentines Day - a (très romantique) dinner for 2 humans & 1 cat





First, there might be something to going out to a nice restaurant: no dishes. However, I doubt that we could have afforded this meal:

  • Vol-au-vent avec crevettes, vent d'Asie: shrimp, snow peas, garlic chives, shrimp stock in bechamel inside puff pastry shell. Garnished with purple bok choy from our garden.
  • Steamed Dungeness crab, Crabandaise sauce, baguettes à l'ancien.
  •  Fourme d'Ambert blue cheese
  • Meli-Melo de gourmandises: truffes au chocolate noir legerement orangés, fleurons de pâte feuillétée, Valentine's day candies.

Cremant d'Alsace rosé
Vin Blanc du Cotes de Gascogne

The cat got some steamed crab, no sauce.
Thanks Teresa for the Valentine candies!
Ripping apart recently deceased crustaceans with your (almost) bare hands and devouring them is sooo romantic!
