just as we did last year, ray and i are making dinner together for valentine's day.
on the menu:
chicken kiev
walnut & apple cider wild rice
steamed vegetables in hollandaise sauce
pumpkin maple creme brulee
we actually cooked the creme brulee custards yesterday, since they have to chill overnight before setting a torch to them. they seemed to come out of the oven quite nicely. we've never made them before.
that's the point of this dinner... to cook things we've never made before. doing four new things at once might be a little ambitious, though. (last year we only made something new for the main course.) i'm guessing it's going to be quite time-consuming to prepare four brand-new dishes at once. we could end up eating at 10pm.
also, here's something scary: as we were cooking the custards i realized that this one meal will require 9 eggs.

Re: the custards. Yum.
Grace and I had dinner at Tallula's (the former Silk Road), and it was pretty yummy.
