If you read my blog before on Valentine’s Day you might think that I seemed slightly negative towards the holiday, but this Valentines day was very amazing.
For Valentine’s Day this year I decided to make a fancy dinner for Warren and me. This included china, candles (the kind that doesn’t drip wax which was great because both Warren and I hit over one) flowers and yes I even pulled out multiple forks.
For the appetizer I made french onion soup. Knowing that Warren loves french onion soup this was quite the hit and it turned out great. For the main course we had Orange Roughy cooked in coconut, rice pilaf, and simmered lemon artichoke heart and stems.
Although this was very good what I was most proud of was the orange and chocolate tort that I made. It took a couple of hours but it was totally worth it.
After the movie Warren took me out to go see the movie The International. If you don’t know already it is a action movie where Clive Owen tries to take down a corrupt bank. Also, return for this Valentine’s Day feast Warren gave me a Orange tree! I have been wanting one for a very long time and even trying to convince him to get one. I love my new tree and I’m excited to put it next to my sweet plum bonsai.
So thank you Warren for the amazing tree and the first Valentine’s Day I have ever enjoyed. Thank you also Marie and Nate for letting me barrow your table. I hope you all also had an enjoyable Valentine’s Day.

The Tort Tasted a lot Better Than it Looks
