Dinner tonight was scrumptious yet so simple.  Mixed greens with olive oil, honey crisp apples, onions fried up in rendered bacon fat along side 2 eggs sunny side up.

I also made a gravadlax over the weekend. First attempt at something like this also outside of my workplace. Turned out good after just a 36 hour cure.

3rd course was a 2 layer sponge cake with cherry filling.  Icing was a basic buttery icing.  This was my first attempt at making a cake from scratch on my own… I’m definately NOT a pasty, dessert kind of guy…  turned out good though

2nd course was Salmon acqua pazza. Basically salmon poached in water that had been reduced with tomato’s, garlic, onions, and basil with a little bit of basil oil.  Turned out awesome.

Valentines dinner started with a mixed greens salad with pears, dried cranberries, and a honey sesame dressing
