First valentine day dinner as a married couple
- New Bae crab dip: Onion, garlic, shallot cooked in butter. Food processed cream cheese, home made vegan mayo, greek yogurt. Put the mix into the pan with the onion, garlic, and shallot. Add crab meat. Add teaspoon of dijon mustard, paprika, celery seed, salt, pepper, lemon juice, a little bit of fish sauce. Grated cheddar cheese on top. Add hot sauce. Bake.
- My wife made this and it beats ordinary crab dip.
- Scallops : Good butter on hot pan. Sear for 2 minutes on each side. Finish with salt.
- I made this and I'm proud I actually got the texture down. I watched an episode of Hell's Kitchen where someone was saying that perfectly cooked scallop feels like the tip of a penis. This did not help me in any way. But because I made perfectly cooked scallop, I guess I have some new knowledge??
- 24 oysters and mignonette: For the mignonette- shallot, fennel, and garlic chopped fine. Add vinegar, and a surprisingly large amount of sugar.
- 12 for 12$ deal at Whole Foods if you have a Prime account. I had to shuck all of them!
- 2 breads (Flower baguette and a pink Pain de Mie) with cultured butter from Clearflour
- My favorite bakery. I jokingly asked the worker that I forgot to get a gift for my wife- what bread should I get to not make her mad. She suggested a baguette in the shape of a flower. And I picked up a pain de mie (European milk bread)
- Cheese scraps from Whole Foods
- I learned that you can make a collection of cheese ends from Whole Foods! Very nice deal for trying a lot of different cheese.
- Cinnamon + Cherry cocktail: Bourbon, cinnamon syrup, and tart jerry juice
- A wife invention! Quite good!
