For Valentine's Day Steve and I decided to cook dinner for each other. Now, for those of you that know me, you are familiar with my burning water fiasco. Great. Long ago I did
have a few successes with shrimp scampi so I thought I'd go with what I knew. We had some red potatoes left over too so I thought I'd make my good-ole garlic mashed potatoes. Everything was going according to plan; I had a rhythm.. shrimp in the broiler, watch the boiling potatoes, watch the boiling asparagus... got it. Ok. Time to take out the shrimp. I needed room to put the hot pan from the oven so I decided to move both the pots to the back burner. Now... By this point I have already mashed my potatoes and am on the home stretch. Just gotta remove the shrimp from the oven. I have banned Steve from the kitchen even though we agreed to cook for each other; I was determined to prove I could cook! Now... just had to actually do it... Ok. So I moved the pots to the back pulled the shrimp out put it on the plate arranged it all pretty... Oh my goodness, I did it! Wait... Whats that smell?? Aaack! Yeah...I did turn the burner off.. but... They were still very hot. My poor oven Mitt. Never saw
it coming. Dinner was great though. We had Strawberry's and Cool Whip for Desert. Delicious.. Steve Enjoyed the cool Whip a little too much and of course Oreo became interested as soon as he heard the sound of the Cool whip can...All in all... It was a wonderful Valentine's Day. We were going to go out of town but oh my... wouldn't you know it... our luck we got sick. So we stayed in. Steve surprised me with a Nintendo DS which I have want
ed forever! LOVE it! Love my man!
