Valentine's Day

[Delma Lou]

What are you doing this Saturday February 14th 2009 Valentine's Day??


I asked Bill this morning what we were doing this Saturday and he looked at me with that look on his face (what did I forget). It took him a while then he said did you think I forgot it was Valentine's day? I said yes I did (I know he did forget). So off the top of his head he says why don't we go to an early dinner or a late lunch and then go to the Cruise in at the Safeway Parking lot.

How romantic a Dinner and a Car Show what more could a girl ask for?

Tell me what you and your other half are doing for Valentine's Day.

A couple years ago we decided to NOT spend much for Valentines Day. I offered to go out to dinner - but she has requested my talent at the grill to cook some Rib-Eyes...

Might try to make Flaming Cherries Jubilee if I can find that darn recipie...


Just found one on Google:

Cherries Jubilee
Flaming desserts make a dramatic nameday treat for children and adults! For a nameday feast whose saint has fire as a symbol, this is a classic, but impressive dessert.


DIRECTIONS
Pour the juice from a pint jar of pitted Bing cherries into the top pan of a chafing dish or double boiler. Bring the juice to a boil. Thicken it with teaspoon of corn starch dissolved in a tablespoon of cold water. Then add the cherries. Stir them in the sauce until they are heated through. Pour over the cherries 2 ounces of kirsch and blaze. Serve the flaming cherries over 1 pint vanilla ice cream.


Recipe Source: My Nameday — Come for Dessert by Helen McLoughlin,\

Or this one:

INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup white sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup orange juice
1 pound Bing or other dark, sweet cherries, rinsed and pitted (or use frozen pitted cherries)
1/2 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
1/4 teaspoon cherry extract
1/4 cup brandy
3 cups vanilla ice cream


DIRECTIONS
Whisk together the sugar and cornstarch in a wide saucepan. Stir in the water and orange juice; bring to a boil over medium-high heat, whisking until thickened. Stir in the cherries and orange zest, return to a boil, then reduce heat, and simmer for 10 minutes. While the cherries are cooking, spoon the ice cream into serving bowls.
Remove the cherries from the heat, and stir in the cherry extract. Pour in the brandy, and ignite with a long lighter. Gently shake the pan until the blue flame has extinguished itself. Spoon the cherries over the bowls of ice cream.
FOOTNOTE
The flames may get quite high when flambeing, so pay attention to anything flammable above and around where you ignite the cherries. When the initial large flame has died down, a small blue flame will continue to burn for several seconds. Shake or stir the cherries gently to expose more alcohol to the flame, being careful that they do not burn. The goal is to have the small, blue flame burn for as long as possible, thereby reducing the raw alcohol flavor, caramelizing the sugars, and entertaining your guests!

I think I'm changing the oil in an SSR - not mine. I think the other half is in for a run to Car & Coffee followed by breakfast at Mimi's. Just need to see if the weather will cooperate.
