Needed: Date night and wine

After being away the last half of the week, all I wanted on Friday was date night and a glass of wine.

I walked in the door and was greeted by these lovely “just-because” flowers and…

a case of New Age.  Obviously one is missing from the box because it was being chilled so that I could be granted that above wish…a glass of wine.

Date night was off to a good start!  Big Guy was in charge of dinner…so I don’t really have recipes for you – but I can tell you that is was a fantastic dinner.  And the biggest shocker – no ribeyes were involved.

How great is that presentation?  And I had nothing to do with it.  I have no clue where he found this idea – but I kinda love it.  Grapes, goat cheese and crushed walnuts.  Three ingredients that when combined in this way are incredible.

And for dinner…kabobs!

The colorful beef kabobs were served over a mint and basil basmati rice.  For the beef, he used seasoned beef tips from The Meat House (nNp – I think he read your comment!).  And for the colorful veggies – squash, zucchini, red onion, bell peppers and mushrooms.  They smelled incredible – I wish this picture was a scratch ‘n sniff.

The kabobs and rice were served with an avocado cream which was simply avocado, Greek yogurt, garlic and a few other spices.  It was quite refreshing.  A perfect bite was a piece of the tender beef along with a red onion and a dollop of the the avocado cream.

Date night perfection.  Just what I needed.
