Valentines dinner

February 15, 2012

For Valentines day the children went for a sleep over at Grandma’s and The Husband cooked us a romantic dinner.

We had home-made soda bread and home-made butter:

I can’t believe how simple butter is to make.  We’re converted.

We had this with the wild boar sausage and rabbit cassoulet:

Followed by Valentines chocolate cake:

All washed down with chilled fizz:

A beautiful evening with my handsome husband.

Thank you, sweetheart.

      The butter is really easy to make. You just need cream and a food mixer. We owe it all to The Fabulous Baker Brothers (all the recipes for the dinner were by them). The butter recipe is here:

      Enjoy! It’s totally delicious.

    Isn’t he a gem! We had a romantic dinner for two, lovingly prepared by myself. Steak au poivre followed by my individual guinness, chocolate and strawberry cake topped with a chocolate heart. Washed down with bubbley of course. Conversation was hardly romantic though as we discussed whether there is such a thing as a soul and what happens once you are dead!

    Your dinner sounds amazing. Particularly the cake.

    We discussed the children…again not overly romantic!
