On Monday, 14th of February, Peter and I celebrated our six-month wedding anniversary and Valentine's Day. Instead of going out to dinner, we decided to celebrate at home with an extra-special dinner by candlelight. The menu consisted of Szechwan pepper prawns on a bed of chilli and lime chinese cabbage and bean sprouts as an entree (see photo below), pepper steak with vegies and a side of french fries (with the customary mayonnaise) as a main, and italian cherry ice cream as dessert.
Accompanying dinner was an Australian Barossa Valley Shiraz (see below), which Peter chose for the evening. Another extra special touch was the massive bunch of flowers Peter bought me: 12 red roses among a mass of greenery and baby's breath.
All in all, it made for a very special evening. Hope you like the pictures.
PS The Szechwan pepper prawns were inspired by a Marie Claire Flavours cookbook that I was privileged to receive from Kate as a Christmas present in 2004!
