How I do V-Day.

[whirlykenmore78]

How I made Katie the happiest girl in Minnesota. Let's start with the floral arrangement that showed up in her office @ 0930 CST She Named the Bear (Little Nicky)

 

[whirlykenmore78]

What I had cooked up

When she arrived home @ 1745CST
Garlic stuffed prime rib
Lemon butter seared U-10 scallops
6 Cheese au-gratin potatoes in a 5 cheese supreme sauce.
Pan deglazed au-jus.
Steamed, buttered corn with natural sea salt and cracked peppercorns.
Apothic red wine-Katie
Cabernet Sauvignon wine-Nick
Here is the chef with his handiwork.

The chef's table.

A place setting just for Sunflower by her chef who loves her more than life itself. Last but not least: HAPPY VALENTINES DAY TO OUR AUTOMATIC WASHER FAMILY! We love you all, Nick and Katie.

Happy Valentines Day to You!

It looks so tasty!!!!!!!! I had prime rib out,dry and tough as the brake shoes on my Desoto! Bobby

 

[whirlykenmore78]

OH MY!

DADOES. I hope I didn't get you in trouble.
@whirlaway. Prime Rib should NOT resemble ANY part of a car! Whoever was manning that oven should get written up for inadequate job performance along with his manager.

WK78, Miss Katie is a very lucky lady. No crowd, No line, just a FEAST. What please are u-10 scallops? Is that a count number per pound as with shrimp? Prime rib "resting" and red wine "breathing" is a mighty good kick for V day. Thanks
alr.

Here is a link describing what U-10 scallops are.

What a feast!

I'd say that's one Lucky Lady! We had a salad, but washed down with beaucoup Bordeaux!

The Bear...

is that from Vermont Teddy Bear? They're near our place, and are second only to Ben & Jerrys's as the biggest VT tourist destination; they do the largest % of their annual business on V-Day!

Polkanut, thank You for the link to the u-10 scallop info. I had never heard that terminology.
