V-day

I forgot to write about valentines day.

We spent the evening at home, and i picked up some salmon, asparagus and wild rice for dinner in by candlelight. I baked the salmon with a maple glaze, very tasty. i picked up some roses and some festive decorations for the table, and it was a nice night in.

For dessert i made poor mans pudding. something marjorie made for us when we were in PEI for christmas. brown sugar, butter, water and vanilla to make a syrup base, then you make dough with flour, white sugar, butter, milk and baking powder. i added some cinnamon and rasins in the dough just to be different. you plunk the dough on top of the boiling syrup and in 20 minutes or so you get this wonderful bready-syrupy mess thats great for dessert. Apparently an old quebec favorite during the depression. Pouding du chomeur.

We also got to catch up on last weeks lost episode, since we didn't have TV hooked up last week. to quote Quagmire "I like where this is going, giggity giggity!". I can't wait to watch the new one tonight.
