true love is a big raw piece of meat
i forgot to post this earlier, but for valentine's day, instead of joining the d.c. ratrace to obtain an exclusive table at a high-class restaurant, tommy and i cooked our own little slice of heaven right here on O street. on the menu? salad with red onion, feta, mandarin oranges, and almonds; rosemary and garlic roast lamb; polenta with gorgonzola; and strawberries with chocolate zabaglione. photos of our attempts at culinary greatness follow.
tommy shows us the delicious, raw, fatty leg of lamb, slathered with a mix of rosemary, garlic and lemon juice. mmm. baby sheep.
sigh. he's so manly.
i slave and slave over a hot stove, while drinking copious amounts of wine. the star of this picture actually turns out to be my orange-topped milk foamer (for cappuccinos) that i bought in florence. i'm wearing my arcade fire shirt, too. god. i'm a terrible person.
three sticks of butter, a tub of gorgonzola, and a bottle of wine. tommy said this would be the backup plan if the meal failed.
voila!
it turned out pretty yummy, though i wasn't a big fan of the gorgonzola polenta.
the real star of the entire thing: the strawberries ($16/lb at whole foods, natch) and the chocolate zabaglione. delicious!
