The host's with the most - Shauna and Merrill Watts once again hosted our annual Valentine dinner.
What a feast we had.
Patrice volunteered to bring steaks and man did she bring steaks. They were gorgeous. I haven't had a piece of meat like this in a long time!
The boys did a fine job of grilling them to perfection!
The table was lovely as always and there was a hand dipped strawberry at each place.
Of course there were delicious appetizers. I loved the brie layered with pears and nuts in a pastry shell - so good!
I had my first bok choy. They just put some olive oil on it and grilled it - so good!
April brought a lovely pasta salad with lots of fresh herbs from her garden.
The plate of food was a masterpiece. The little carrot bundles were amazing and there was even a thin character stick tied into a knot! But I thought the potatoes were the most amazing! You may think those are mushrooms on the plate - but they are not. Merrill cut the potatoes into the shape of mushrooms. Chef Merrill the extraordinaire!
There were lots of yummy beverages too (of the non-alcoholic variety of course)
I was in charge of dessert. I made a white chocolate whip cream/chocolate mousse cake. It was a disappointment I thought. Not nearly good enough for the amount of time it took to make. But at least it looked cute with the little cake bunting I made for it.
It was a wonderful evening. Good food, good friends and as always lots of good conversation when the Beach Babes get together! How grateful I am for these women who have been an important part of my life for a long time!!
