Why not invite people into your home and cook up something special? Tony and I love to cook together and some of our best memories have been made around our table. If you've never done this before or even if you don't consider yourself a good cook, I encourage you to try. I never regret reaching out beyond my comfort zone to try to bless others. In fact, I usually am the one who benefits the most!
Recently we wanted to have a special dinner for some dear friends. My husband, Tony, dreams up wonderful food combinations and this is what he planned for that night. This is our version of "Surf and Turf." The filet mignon was grilled to a perfect medium-rare, the scallops and shrimp were broiled in a light wine and butter sauce, and the linguine was dressed in a garlic and oil sauce 'aglio e olio' and Romano cheese. I didn't take a photo of the cheese board appetizer, or the chocolate molten cake dessert, but you can imagine it was an amazing meal. Even better was the time spent with sweet friends and memories made!
Another special dinner we made was for some dear college students we have befriended. One is from Germany and he likes Schnitzel, or friend pork cutlets. Tony worked his magic, as usual. He dipped thin slices of pork tenderloin in egg, then well-seasoned bread crumbs before pan frying them to a deep golden brown. We also served pork spareribs, macaroni and cheese and green beans. Here are some photos of the cutlets frying and some table shots.
Let me know about some memories you have made around your table!
