Once Upon A Friday Night…

27 Feb Once Upon A Friday Night…

Last night J and I were finally able to celebrate Vday the correct way…That’s right we gently and kindly kicked out the ‘rents and started cooking. Per usual J was in charge of dinner, me-desserts. Turns out J was actually planning on doing the whole sha-bang, but his father requested cupcakes from the (*ahem*) ‘cupcake queen’ 😉 a few weeks ago. Chocolate with butter cream icing to be exact. Since the occasion (and time) arrived for me to be able to bake I took the opportunity to bake. The savory and sweet aromas did not mesh so well in the air…however, they did the tummy well.

The menu: (For full details you’d have to get the boy to tell you all his secrets. I asked…”Hey…where’s the recipe? Do you have one?” …J: “I read one…earlier.” He’s a great cook.)

Arugula salad with a buttery, shallot, and garlic dressing

(It’s embarrassing that I’m not 100% sure that is actually what was in it…but all you really need to know is dressing=homemade and delicious.)

Toasted french bread (with butter, of course)

and the main attraction…

Whole wheat penne pasta with spicy sausage

Yum yum yum yum yum…mmmmy

Oh hi there Mr. Steam…thank you for jumping into my photo…yum

(The sweet)

(Don’t worry…The freshly grated Parmesan was not forgotten!)
