Valentines Dinner 2012

Late Valentines was awesome this year. I got my husband back; and we spent the entire day at home being lazy. Once we got hungry for dinner we decided to make a grocery run. Like all men, Kevin hates to grocery shop. And like some women, I love to grocery shop. But he knows it makes me extremely happy when he goes with me so he obliged tonight.


For dinner we decided on:

-Broiled Ribeye steaks with sauteed caramelized onions on top
these turn out the best when you generously season with kosher salt & pepper, drizzle with olive oil, and make sure the oven has warmed up on the broil option for a good 10 minutes or so. And then broil for 3 minutes per side. Top with sauteed sweet onions that have been sauteed in olive oil and sprinkled with kosher salt for 20 or so minutes. I start on a medium heat, then turn it to low for the last 10 minutes to help caramelize them.
-Roasted asparagus (drizzle with olive oil, kosher salt and roast for 15 minutes @ 400)
-Creamy, garlic mashed skin-on potatoes (for him, I do not like mashed potatoes)
-used this recipe
-Sourdough bread with olive oil & balsamic vinegar
-Shrimp & cocktail sauce

We then ended our special evening with the documentary Buck on Netflix. It was pretty interesting. We knew nothing about "breaking" colts so it was fun to learn. It was nice to know that they don't use such harsh practices in "breaking" horses these days.
