So, I'm going out of town this Saturday. Alone. I'm leaving my husband alone for 5 days. There will not be a regularly scheduled date next week. I will be having my dinners with another man. Allen. My 3 year old nephew. He lives in SC. With his parents--my sister and brother-in-law and near his grandparents--my parents.
Because I'm going away, I wanted to make this date night a special one. I have done this menu before, I know. But we do love our steakhouse dinners and this is...well, it's cheaper and it's at home. I think you can figure out how that's better.
What is the menu? Wouldn't you like to know.
Who am I kidding? I'll tell you:
Cocktail: House Manhattans (whiskey half rye, half Makers Mark)
Appetizer: Shrimp Cocktail
Salad: Caesar for the man, garden for me
Main Course: Filet Mignon---pan seared, pepper crust
Side Dishes: Broccoli
Potato-Parsnip Gratin--I am mixing in garlic, 1/2 and 1/2, and a little cheese (variety tbd), topping it with caramelized onion and baking for 1 hour at 325
Dessert: Mini cheesecakes topped with raspberries that I bought at the market
Methinks this will be nice.
