After having a cold for a week, I was done rotting in my bed, so I decided cooking for Vday sounded like a fun thing to do. We never celebrate Valentineās Day. I usually think itās cheesy, tacky, and every adjective you could use to describe an old Hallmark store. But this is what we had for our first ever Valentineās date:
1. Fennel Salad with cardamom infused olives, parmesan, and lemon zest (we seriously need more places with fennel salads in Costa Rica. Letās make this our fennel year!!!).
2. Super glossy, 3 ingredient fettuccine Alfredo. No heavy cream, no bullshit.
3. Mini black forest baked Alaskas (I canāt believe women in the 50s threw a giant ball of ice cream covered in meringue into a 450Ā°F oven just to achieve that burnt look. Thatās heroic to me)
