My Valentines Dinner

So B and I decided that we would do Valentines Day on the 15th instead of the 14th. Well he said that he had something planned but it was a surprise.

I got home from work to this.....

I walked through the garage and saw and empty box for a food processor and for a pasta maker sitting by the recycling. I walk in the house and it smells like garlic and cream sauce and all the heavenly smells of Italian food. My husband made homemade pasta, homemade Alfredo sauce, and chocolate cake from scratch. He also tried his hand at scallops because he knows I love them.

Pasta really really good. I have never had homemade pasta before and it was super tasty. B says super time consuming and next time he wants us to do this together. We are thinking ravioli night with different fillings, I will let you know how it goes.

Alfredo Sauce...super creamy and cheesy. He had to call in for extra cheese and I think if he cut the heavy cream with a little milk the sauce would have been perfect. But for his first time it was delicious and would use it next time as a dipping sauce for garlic bread.

Scallops were a little chewy but he nor I have ever cooked them before and he was feeling a little rushed last night. I think today after sitting in sauce they will be awesome.

Cake...well i will have to let you know. After all the above I was so full of wine and food that I didn't even get to cake. Bummer I know, but there is chocolate cake in my future today. It will be a nice treat after working with children at church tonight and a long day at work.

Then there were the rose petals and candles everywhere. Grade on Valentines day...well you can't give one...it was a priceless moment spent with the man I love! Take that Mr. Darcy, Mr. Rochester, and Mr. Farrars!
