Valentine's Day

For V Day Keith took me to see Juno at Clairidge and then to dinner at Table 8, which is one of those fancy NY style Montclair restaurants that I've heard of but never been to, with well known chefs and reservation requirements and such. The food was incredible. I had an appetizer which wouldn't sound very good if I were to describe it, but suffice it to say that it was duck and it was amazing. Keith's shrimps were nearly as delightful, and he also shared his pork tenderloin--perfect. I had fillet mignon for my main dish- heavenly, and we both got coconut tapioca pudding with carmelized bananas and coconut sorbet over peanut brittle. Weird but yummy. I must say it was the best meal I've had in years. And the best Valentine's day.

The next night I made dinner for Keith. And this cool Valentines cake. You can't tell how cute it is from the picture, but the strawberries are shaped like hearts :)

I published this post and realized my blog's background is exactly the same color as my kitchen walls and counters. That's odd.
