...well, at least I didn't have to COOK....
I had to cook --- but it was by choice!
I made a romantic dinner for all of the men in my life....DH and the three boys. I kicked everyone out of the kitchen, used a lace tablecloth and linen napkins, had flowers and candles on the table and used the good dishes!
I served mushrooms stuffed with crab and cheese and wrapped in puff pastry for an appetizer and served a spinach salad with avacado, mango, tomatoes and feta cheese with a raspberry walnut vinagrette. For the main course we had beef tenderloin in a balsamic red wine sauce, asparagus with hollandaise sauce and twice baked potatoes. And for dessert we had individual cheesecakes with cherry topping.
I want the boys to see how to do a nice dinner so that when they have girlfriends they'll know what to do!
It was a very nice romantic dinner............
but after all the time and effort put into it.....
I think they would have been just as satisfied with hot dogs on the grill!
But I enjoyed fixing a fancy dinner for a change.
Should be a fun afternoon for me!
