Fred McGriff Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 I made Valentine's Dinner for my wife and daughter tonight. Steamed Butternut Squash Puree, Panko Fried Oysters with Avocado, Lime, and Sea Salt, and Pan-Seared Scallops over Rainbow Quinoa with Fresno Peppers, Bacon, and Fried Brussels Sprouts Leaves Fact: It took me longer to type the title of this meal than it did my two Valentines to eat it. I have to say I enjoyed making a meal for both my girls, especially the baby who had no qualms about literally screaming in my face for more. I reckon it's the most sincere way to compliment a cook, and probably not too far of a cry from how professional kitchen dwellers operate. To start, I picked the nicest butternut squash I could find Dismantled it while I got some water boiling Let it steam for about 10 mins Blended it up in front of an audience. It's no surprise the baby is a fan of loud noise. Presentation matters on Valentine's Day After several servings she succumbs to food coma, pajamas, and lullabyes while I work on the rest of the meal for my other Valentine. I fry some bacon in case I might need it, and get some diced shallots, garlic, and fresno peppers going for the quinoa. Next I fry a few oysters breaded with panko to keep the hungries at bay. Serve with avocado, plenty of lime, and coarse sea salt. Then I deleave some brussels sprouts and fry them in my leftover oyster fryin' oil. The quinoa has been simmering with the peppers, onions, bacon, and chicken stock Get a nice face-melting sear on those scallops Finally, serve over the quinoa with a handful of fried brussels sprouts leaves and a healthy amount of lemon juice. And now here I am on watmm. Successful night huh. I think I fried too many things. Either way both Valentines are sleeping right now while I'm wide awake.

FUCK That's the worst thing i've ever eaten. The flesh simply doesn't cleave to the bones. Battery ferming. And then, foie gras is banned from NY state, because it's considered as ill-treat. IT'S NOT. KFC is tourist ill-treat. YOU POISONERS! Two hours after being to KFC, i stopped in a amsih little town barf all that KFC shit out. Nice work!

Guest ex-voto Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 (edited) Lovely Fred! You are a gentleman of the first degree. Did you use the butternut squash's juice with the fried oysters or with the quinoa/ scallop dish?

jules Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 I think that's the first pic of your daughter I've seen, she is adorable. it seems like you had a wonderful and romantic valentines day. I got a last second card, brought home Mexican, downed a bottle of wine, high fived my son a few times, farted and fell asleep on the couch real early.
