Today was Valentine's Day, but more importantly, it was my day off work. So, in honor of today, I decided to cook a big dinner, including dessert!
Matt got me the best V-Day card ever (we didn't do any gifts for each other, since we can't really afford it at the moment): the "I Choo-Choo-Choose You" card from the Simpsons! It's up on the fridge.
So, I got up and went to the store (after the coffee, of course) and picked up the couple things I needed. Then I got home, realized I'd forgotten ONE ingredient, so I had to go back to the store... ugh... When I got home, I I donned by Java Co apron, put on some tunes, and started baking some brownies!!
Then I got horribly distracted by doing our taxes... which still aren't done... it turned into a huge pain-in-my-ass so I let it go for tonight. By then Matt was home, so I started on our main course, chicken fettuccine alfredo with broccoli. For some reason, the recipe yielded about three times what it usually does (which was weird, because I didn't do anything to the recipe, and I've made it at least four times now). Matt and I were thoroughly stuffed after dinner, but there were still brownies to be had!
So here are the photos of my cooking endeavors. I only had to call my mom twice for help!! That's got to be some kind of record!!!
Our huge portions!
Matt LOVES it!
Beautiful, homemade frosting!
Mmm, beater frosting...
Gorgeous!
Ta Da!
Matt's first tasty bite.
