V-day dinner

A little late, but here was the feast.

Scampi butter scallops, Curry split pea soup, and a refreshing cucumber salad. (it was a little green)


Pomegranate marinated Cornish game hen with an Asian pear chutney, Garlic sweat potato hash, and spiced broccolinni,


the best red wine ever (or our current favorite) Layer cake's Malbec


and for dessert we were to have chocolate lava cake, but it turned into bananas foster instead.
