Valentine's Day

This year for Valentine's we decided to stay in and cook instead of going out to eat, partially to save money, partially to cook some fun stuff and partially because Denver Restaurant Week begins soon and we will be eating out then. ( Very excited about the restaurant week!) 

So on the menu for Valentine's Day was:

 

Mushroom Wheat Berry Soup

The soup was decent, nothing great.  Jeff enjoyed it but I thought recipe sounded better on paper.

 

Baked artichokes

I was really excited for these but they turned out someone bitter, maybe they just aren't in season?

 

 

Mashed sweet potatoes with apple

I liked these a lot they were really good, but Jeff wasn't as big of a fan.

 

Blood orange sorbet

This was by far the best item of the meal.  This was soooooo good, I cannot even describe it.

 

The wine.

The cab was pretty decent, nothing fantastic but good.

Overall it was okay not nearly as good as I was hoping but that happens.

After dinner we went to the Les Claypool concert which was awesome!!!
