Our first course was Roasted Pears with Blue Cheese.
It was really nice. The cheese and nuts went very well with the fruit. It was a good first course.
Next we had Angel Hair with Sun-dried Tomatoes and Goat Cheese.
Before you tell me how '80's sun dried tomatoes are, Zack likes them. And Valentine's day is all about doing things that your girlfriend/boyfriend likes.
Our main course was Baked Cod with Green Beans. There's bacon on it too.
We got a nice bottle of Savigoun Blanc in Napa over Christmas, so I wanted to make something that would go well with white wine. I was supposed to use cod steaks instead of fillets, but I got confused at the fish store. Oh well. It was still good.
We finished off with Chocolate Pots.
I used whiskey instead of brandy. In fact, whenever a recipe called for liquor, I used whiskey (not in place of wine, obviously, just hard liquor). All I have in my house is whiskey and I wasn't about to buy port or brandy or anything else when I already had half a bottle of Maker's Mark.
Don't you wish I was your girlfriend so that you could eat all this food? You totally do.

Looks great! I'm not sure I want you to be my girlfriend, but you can definitely cook me that any time.
I second that cooking for me comment. The pear thing looks really good! And also, side note, I really like sun-dried tomatoes. I didn't know they were considered "80s." :P
