One last photo, since I remembered to take one! This is my plate. My wife's had green beans and many less potatoes! (I love roasted Yukons!) And this salad is now one of my absolute favorites. Something about the pancetta and dried cherries that just sets this off.

SWMBO requested steaks for our Valentine's dinner, so got a couple of pretty good rib steaks and went over to the winter farmer's market to get some nice golden and red beets. Even though it was below zero, I fired up the ol' Weber kettle and grilled everything. I threw in some carrots too. Neighbors, no doubt, thought I was nuts.
 
Wow, everyone outdid themselves! Yum!

No pictures from here, KOTC was basically standing at the stove as I took the lamb out of the oven and he was READY TO EAT thankyouverymuch so no time for such frivoloties. It was really good though.

And that damn Blue Bunny ice cream. Oh my. That is the BEST ice cream EVER. Peanut Butter Panic in case anyone needs to know! ;)
 
I tried something new, well, new to me at least; 1st time I've grilled swordfish.

Grilled swordfish steak, brushed with hazelnut oil while grilling & dressed with fresh lemon juice.

Brussels sprouts with portobello & crimini mushrooms, pearl onions, chopped hazelnuts, a clove of minced garlic, about a 1/2 teaspoon of dried, crushed tarragon, a couple dashes of black pepper, a dash of balsamic vinegar & a couple shakes of soy sauce, all sauteed in hazelnut oil.

Honey/ginger glazed baby carrots with craisins, green onions, a clove of minced garlic, a dash of black pepper & stir-fried in hazelnut oil.

For dessert it was grilled pineapple, brushed with hazelnut oil while on the grill & vanilla frozen yogurt.

I thought it was a tasty little feast.
Regards, GF.

Went with Stuffed Chops last night. Spinach and Parmesan and garlic for the stuffing.

Good, but the chops came out dry again. Might need to try a different cooking method or something. They were barely thick enough to use for stuffed chops too.

Try browning them first, then into a covered pan with a little water, beer or stock. They'll be moister.
 
No pictures to upload, but I ground and stuffed 11lb of sage breakfast links and 10lb of weisswurst.
yummmm I can already feel myself getting fatter :-D
 
Bit late but here's what wife and I did for Valentine's Day this past weekend.

The soup is Beef Bourguignon (or as I call it, beef warglebargle). It's essentially a fancy pants beef stew but it's got a bit of brandy and a bottle of wine in it...plus there's bacon.

I also threw together a loaf for dipping (not as crusty as I like, but wife was hungry yesterday ;)), and chocolate lava cake (I swear there's some cake under the strawberries, ice cream, and chocolate syrup) for dessert.
