We had the perfect Valentine’s Day dinner: steamed Dungeness crab and Alaskan King crab claws with TJ’s sweet potato fries (not pictured). Mrs. P made a black olive cake with orange zest and fresh basil ice cream topped with date honey with orange zest. It all went great with a California red blend wine and 10 year old port for dessert. It also happened to be our Cat Gucci’s 8th birthday. He enjoyed some crab as well.

Dessert: assorted goodies from recent Taiwan visit.
Happy V’day!!!

That Schnitzel 
I did not cook last night, but the kiddo and I made heart-shaped crustless quiches for breakfast to go with all the day’s chocolate.

Tonight was seared scallops, roasted green beans (in the new multi-use appliance…yes, another), and quattro formaggio risotto with sauteed shredded zucchini. For dessert, we dipped raspberries, strawberries, and cherries in tempered dark chocolate. Big hit.

I went to Trader Joe’s today and when I got home to put everything away, I realized I have to stop feeding the freezer and start eating from it…both upstairs and down.
So sausage and roasted broccoli pizza with roasted garlic tomato sauce done in the convection oven was WWFD. And while it could have used a bit more crisp on the crust, it was good.
A large glass of wine alongside, and “Rocketman” on the flat screen.
