Valentine’s Day morning included lots of cuddling and floor-playtime.
As part of his special Valentine’s lunch, Gabriel got to paint bread before eating it. 🙂 Also known as cheap entertainment that lasts 15+ minutes, brought to you by mixing two drops of red food coloring into a couple tablespoons of water.
While my parents took four of their grandchildren out on a Valentine’s date, Steven cooked dinner for me. Grilled steak topped with a garlic, mushroom, and red wine sauce. Israeli couscous, sweet corn, and chianti wine accompanied the deliciousness. Wow. Yum. My husby is a true gourmet!
And I spent a lot of time in the kitchen yesterday too. First I made another type of gourmet popcorn. Cinnamon Cookie Crunch Popcorn. Super tasty. Another winner. I plan on tweaking it a bit and trying Cookies And Cream Popcorn soon. (Yes, I’m on a gourmet popcorn kick…)
But what took the majority of my Valentine’s Day was dessert. While Steven does dinner, I provide the dessert. And this year I tried my hand at a crepe cake. Wow. So much work, largely because it takes a long time to make 40+ crepes with only one small skillet! I made chocolate crepes, cream custard for the filling, and chocolate ganache to top it. It may be a heart attack waiting to happen, but it’s downright incredible. A true hit.
Oh my goodness, that cake!!! It looks divine. Could I get the recipe from you for sometime int he future when I have a ridiculous amount of time and yummy ingredients on hand? Thanks. 🙂
Your cake looks amazing, and I’m blessed to see you guys looking so happy.
That first picture of Asher had me laughing! What a happy little guy!!
Your dinner and dessert looks divine and I’m sure tasted just as well.
I can see why it would take a long time to make but Mmm!!
Someone else said about you all looking so happy. I echo what a blessing that is to just see the JOY on your faces!
