Valentine’s Dinner

A dear friend of ours cooked dinner on Sunday, 2/15 at our house. It was such a great meal, especially considering that Caitlin is 21 and has no formal culinary training. This is what she cooked;

Crab and scallion hushpuppies with sweet mustard sauce

Thai red curry soup with roasted sweet potatoes and cilantro

Sautéed bay scallops with spinach and garlic

Ruby red grapefruit tart with black sesame seeds (to cleanse the palette)

Marinated Grilled Lamb with steamed rice, Mango chutney and herb sauce

Whipped ricotta with pistachio and chocolate bark and dried cherries

She even set the table with candles, fresh flowers, and rose petals. It really was a wonderful dinner and a reminder to me how powerful sharing food with others can be. It is a wonderful way to show your love, connect, and share of yourself.

Cook dinner for someone special soon!

Ciao!
