Valentine's Dinner




Our Valentine's Dinner this year started with my favorite.  Seared scallops, pureed sweet potatoe and corn succatash.


Then we had lobster risotto.  I made lobster stock with the shells to use as a base for the risotto.  Once the rice was cooked we added lobster chunks, a bit of lemon zest and fresh parm cheese.  Syd helped me by spending the 20 minutes to stir the rice while I prepared the rest of the meal. He's such a sweetie.



Dessert was kinda silly.  Ice cream sandwiches!  lol  I noticed there was a cake mix in the cupboard that really had to be used so I made "cookies" with it.  I used less water then the recipe called for to make a thicker batter.  I then put a scoop of ice cream between the cookies and Voila!  Ice cream sandwiches!  lol
