Valentine's Weekend

Happy Belated Valentine's Day!

My boyfriend and I stayed in for dinner on the 14th. We had oysters & prosecco, ribeye and pasta, and a white chocolate mousse with raspberry and peach sauces (dessert not pictured).

He both shucked the oysters and made the mignonette, both for the first time. Then we made a marinade for the meat together and he made a creamy sauce for the pasta, though I think the pictures don't show the sauce that well.

Sunday morning, we made blueberry and chocolate pancakes while listening to Maroon 5 and Jack Johnson :)

Here's me eating leftovers of the pasta we made

So yummy!

Scallion pancake croissants

It's almost time for Chinese New Year / Lunar New Year!

In honor of that, my boyfriend has made scallion pancake croissants, a French twist on a Chinese classic

He should post his recipe here soon, but until then, you can check out this post on scallion pancake waffles

Edit: He has posted about the making of these scallion croissants here
