Hey happy valentines day! I didn’t have too much time to get presents this year so I bought us some tulips, salted dark chocolate caramels, and Olive & Sinclair’s Benton’s chocolate brittle.  It tastes like chocolate ham. We were going to have crab legs and steak for dinner.

Maggie was off on Sunday, so she decided to outdo my whole foods run and surprise me with a nicer version of everything from 4121 Main.  She went there to get some chocolate for us to re-make the chefsteps chocolate souffles that we made last year, and apparently couldn’t leave without buying one of everything. Not that I blame her, their store looks crazy great all the time.

That nathan miller buttermilk chocolate is really something. Really into that. The chocolate moderne ones were a little less exciting than they looked, but I think some on the edges didn’t have enough smoky salt- though next to the benton’s ham-chocolate we might have blown out our smoke and salt detectors.

We dragged up the steamer we bought for the deli and never used after it kept blowing circuits and steamed some crab legs.  We were smart enough to eat that first and then go for a second course on the ribeye.  We were both pretty full and concentrated on some old crow, bubbles and chocolate instead.   Fritz is a poultry cat.  No interest in crab.  Just wanted to smell the flowers. He’s sitting on a piece we gave him.And steak the next day. Blue goat cheese that we got from Family Farm Creameries and a sorta gross looking potato.
