Tonight we were going to go out for dinner. We had a babysitter and everything. But.....we forgot to get reservations and on Saturday I thought, "Hmmm. Probably won't be able to get in anywhere on Valentine's Day."
So we made dinner.
That was the kids' dinner. They love mac and cheese. So for them, it was a treat. We got their food going and ready for them by 5:30 and then sent them downstairs to watch their new dvds (thanks Grandma and Grandpa) while Danny and I made our grown-up dinner.
We halved some brussels sprouts.
Dan seasoned (gag) his (gag) giant steak (gag).
I cooked some pancetta.
I also cut up some sun-dried tomatoes.
And I cooked some pasta. With a store-bought jar of sun dried tomato alfredo, the pancetta, tomatoes, and pasta all tossed together was so delicious.
And the brussels sprouts: boiled, sauteed, salt and peppered, and then drizzled with a balsamic reduction. Mmmmmm.
While Danny enjoyed his glass of wine, I enjoyed my Pom. I love this stuff.
But this summer I am going to try and like wine. Because I want to go to Napa Valley and go wine tasting. That is the only reason.
I've also heard a little wine can be good for you, and since I am constantly thinking I might be dying, drinking something good for me every once in a while can only help me live.
My plate was fantastic (I had halibut instead of steak).
Dan says his was good, too. But it was really pink....which is a big no-no to me.
