Valentines Day....

Those of you who know Jon, know what an incredible cook he is. We switch off years being "in charge" of V-day and this year it was Jon's turn (when it's mine turn....we usually starve or I set off the smoke alarm). Jon went all out this year (well he actually goes all out every time it's his turn & at least once or twice a week on a regular basis...I know, I'm spoiled). Our dinner was truly sensational. I'm a lucky girl, what can I say?!?!



Jon's caesar salad. He made his own dressing, parmesan cakes & croutons. He is very concerned with presentation if you can't tell.



WOW....WOW...WOW. His main entree was unlike anything I've had in a restaurant. He bought the freshest scallops, shrimp & lobster....made his own tomato/basil cream sauce and wham, pure heaven. He used fresh noodles as well, I savored every bite!



These are not cream puffs....Jon kept correcting me. I can't remember what he called them (it sounded like a cancer drug name). He made this whole thing....nothing store bought (except the ice cream). The shell was like a cream puff but he filled it with white chocolate raspberry & chocolate chunk ice cream and then made his own chocolate sauce to drizzle over the top. TDF!!!



This is Jon grating fresh chocolate shivers over our after dinner coffee drinks. Amazing.
