Valentine's Day 2013

Happy Valentine's Day to everyone (Happy Belated Valentine's if you're reading after the 14th).

About a week or two ago I was told I would be working this week during the day shift to train for some other products so I figured our Valentine's Day would be pushed back to the weekend.  Thankfully my training was pushed to about a month from now which was perfect, now I was able to plan a nice day for us even though Frances had to work.

First order of business:  I made her breakfast in bed, which I've been wanting to do for a long time (see my Day Zero Project.)  For breakfast I made French Toast... well sort of.

She watched this in bed while I made breakfast
French Toast & "Abuelita" Hot Chocolate

Making Mexican Hot Chocolate first



French Toast Kabobs for breakfast...

... with a side of Cinnamon Rolls

Breakfast in bed for my lady


Afterwards she had to leave for work so later in the day before she would come home I prepped our dinner.

First our sauce which'll come in later
 
Sautee garlic for a few seconds

Add asparagus...

... And then some Mushrooms

After removing the veggies, time to cook some of the shrimp

Nice and brown

Making room for the sauce



Re Add the veggies

Chopping up some cilantro...

... and add to the rice

Dinner is cooked

Coconut Shrimp with Garlic with a glass of St. Gisbertus Pomegranate & Lime Cocktail
