HAPPY VALENTINES DAY

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY
DINNER AT HOME

Always love staying home on Valentines Day. If you ask me, this is the worst day of the year to go out for dinner.  We like to stay home and enjoy our family and some good food.  My daughter requested a Pappardelle Pasta dish that we all love.  This dish is a far cry from one of the best pasta dishes I have ever eaten at Mario Batali's restaurant Babbo in New York, but it does deliver big flavor.   It is simply Mushrooms, Butter, Sage, Lemon Juice, Salt and Pepper.  We use meaty Hamakua Mushrooms from The Big Island of Hawaii.  I kicked up the dinner with an appetizer of Foie Gras served with toasted bread and sautéed Apples.  Served a small Roasted Beet Salad with Pistachios and Balsamic Dressing.  Ended the dinner with Chocolate Cupcakes from Cake Couture.  My little "X" broke on the ride home but the cupcakes were delicious.  So lucky to have two beautiful Valentines that I love with all of my heart.
