We're doing Valentine's Day in two parts. Monday night we went to a nice little restaurant, a classic 'old school' fine-dining kind of place called Level Four. (The kids who still live with us had frozen pizza while we were out).
Mrs. M had a mushroom risotto that was very nice. Several different mushroom varieties and all done well. The plating was 'creative' - it looked a bit like something out of a Dr. Seuss book (which isn't really a bad thing, for sure).
I had a Sous Vide pork belly, with chili bacon toping, a smoky teriyaki sauce underneath, with Brussels sprouts and bok-choy. Very nice as well. The dish included chicharron, but the humidity killed the crispiness and it was meh...
We didn't get a picture of the dessert, which was a chocolate Malva pudding.
Tonight (Tuesday) the kids and I are cooking: Hand made pasta for fettuccine alfredo, with a caprese salad, and my daughter will make dessert of some sort. Hopefully I'll get pics to post.
