David and I got together to cook up a special Valentine Meal for our other halves – albeit, not on Valentine’s Day itself.
We’d done the planning and the shopping on Wednesday, so all that was left to do, was the cooking itself. No ready-meals here – and we actually visited a REAL Butcher too!
I popped over to David’s at around 5pm and we did most of the preparation there – and by 6.30, we were almost ready.
Preparation: Eggs en Cocotte
Preparation: Braised Beef Short Ribs
Nearly there! Three hours later…
et Voilà!
Fair to say that Dessert went down well too!
Well, there weren’t any left-overs (so that’s a good sign!) and we finished off the evening with a Movie: this year it was the original ‘Sabrina’ from 1954 starring Audrey Hepburn, Humphrey Bogart and William Holden.
David had thoughtfully picked up a couple of appropriate mugs for tea too!
A great evening! 👍😍😍
I got into blogging quite late in life, not publishing my first post until 2004 – well into my 40s! My lifelong love of technology and communication (in all its forms), together with a fondness for the art of writing seemed to be the perfect combination to contribute a few words to the online community. But I’m no Samuel Pepys! If you’re looking for deep and meaningful comments on a variety of subjects, then you’ve arrived at the wrong site! I only pen for pleasure! On average, my posts appear about twice per month, covering family & friends, cinema visits, eating out, holiday experiences and techy stuff. Oh, and as this is my hobby, there are no sponsored links nor adverts here – it’s all done with love!
I hope you find it enjoyable, interesting and occasionally, even helpful!
