Doc Holliday Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 As the 14th approaches I've already got my menu planned as to what I'll be cooking the other half for her three course dinner this year. For starters it will be home made french onion soup from an authentic recipe, Surf & Turf using scallops and either a nice thick piece of ribeye (preferably) or fillet steak served with saffron sauce, asparagus and possibly sumo chips or some other veg (the only thing I haven't decided on yet) and for pud it will be home made orange ripple ice cream with cointreau. Anyone else giving the missus a break from the kitchen and trying their hand at making her a special dinner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 As my missus has only cooked about 5 times in 15 years I reckon it should be her who is doing the cooking. Although I am not that keen on french onion soup I wouldn't mind coming round yours for my dinner Doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I am not that keen on french onion soup I wouldn't mind coming round yours for my dinner Doc MC, the french onion soup will be to die for (as will all of it with any luck). I'm hoping to start cooking around 4pm so we won't be sitting down to eat at 10 which is the norm when I try 3 courses. And thanks yani. The OH looks after me very well every other day of the year so it's the least I can do. BTW, I do usually cook on a saturday evening but only stuff like risotto or pasta or morrocan lamb (that's my signature dish) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr W Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Probably whatever M&S are doing in their meal deals, which can all be just stuck in the oven so I can spend more time with my wife (rather than it being dead easy and tastes nice).

al4x Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 I take it that french onion soup doesn't make your female **** as badly as it does mine, would be the perfect way to ruin the evening for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has done for many a year now. I think it must have been at least 2 years before she ****** in front of me and even that was in her sleep.

Axe Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 I do most of the cooking so like MC it would be nice to see the wife having a go. But I just know i'll be in there doing something. Last year was home made deep fried brie served with cranberry and coleslaw and a salad, followed by medallions of fillet steak served on wilted spinach with a morel, brandy and crème fraiche sauce and served with creamed mash potato, then finally followed by a crème brûlée.

Pepe Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 I seem to be doing most of the cooking nowadays but, as she is 6 months pregnant, I will let it go. I'll be cooking one of the wife's favorites, Leg of Lamb. I'll put it in in the morning before going claying to slow cook covered in apricot jam. Then, when I get back, I'll add the roasted potatoes and parsnips and cook the caramelized carrots, cauliflower cheese and brocoli( which I'll have to eat myself as she does not like it). Ice cream for dessert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
