Heart-o-rific!

Here are some pictures from yesterday as promised.


Yesterday I saw a post that inspired me to give the cats a can of tuna. I've ony ever given them the drained water from the can, so I thought I'd spoil them this time. Binka never really cared for the water, and it turns out she doesn't like the fish either. Munchie, the same cat who almost jumped into the bowl on the counter when I was mixing tuna salad for sandwiches once, doesn't like the fish either. But boy, does he love that water! hehe When the juice was gone he left the fish at the bottom of the dish.


Here is our Valentines dinner... grilled filet mignon stuffed with mascarpone and fresh basil, and wrapped in proscuitto, and the rice is caramelized onion and cheddar cheese (I chopped the scraps bits of the red peppers from the salad and cooked it with the rice).



The salad was really simple and I mixed them right in the salad bowls... red pepper hearts and kisses, spinach, leaf lettuce, sliced baby carrots, green onion, a few pine nuts, feta cheese, and drizzled with a garlic vinagerette.



These are the heart shaped brownies I made as part of our dessert. Our dessert plates had a brownie, a heart shaped lava cake, and some vanilla ice cream. The brownies were really cute, but the lava cakes burst comming out of the pan. The cakes still tasted really good, but weren't pretty enough to take a picture of.



After puppy training, we came home to find these lovebirds in the dog's bed.

Awww hehe Well, I'm glad I could brighten your day just a little. I think you are already on your way to being a wonderful cook, but I could always use some help in the kitchen. ;)

hehe the cats in the bed look gas!

lol They would stay like all the time if Vicki would leave them alone. :)

are they really lovers? LOL!

[identity profile] minxy-baby.livejournal.com 2006-02-16 06:14 pm (UTC)(link)
lol They are both fixed, so not in that way. But they have an inseperable bond. Where one sits, the other is close by. They get along so well, it's awesome. I always joke that they are bf/gf. lol

That dinner...

[identity profile] mikesmaddie.livejournal.com 2006-02-15 09:38 pm (UTC)(link)
...looks fantastic. *big smile*

And of course, it's making me hungry. Hee hee.

Also, I love the photos of the cats. And they both are so beautiful (and you can let them know that I said that. *BG*). *big big smile*

However, what did Vicki think of the two felines taking up residence in her bed? *VBG*

Hope that you and yours are doing all right, that things are going okay, and that the rest of the day goes well for everyone.

As well, hope that you and yours had a lovely time during your VALENTINE'S DAY yesterday. *GG*

God bless and take care. :).

Only my Daisy gets tuna but that is because I am a bad mommy and play favorites.

And I love the pepper hearts.

[identity profile] minxy-baby.livejournal.com 2006-02-16 06:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Awww hehe I don't play favourites. Binka does though, and she likes me better. :)

I wish the pepper hearts idea was mine, but I got it off the Kraft Canada website.

Tuna is one of the only things Capone is allowed to have cause of her diabetes.
