Over on RFC Facebook, Damsel brought up the topic of Valentine's Day. My
recent observation was that whenever Lin and I go out on a "special" night
like that, we seem to get the rush service, as if the restaurant has grossly
overbooked its tables. Accordingly, I've resolved to cook Valentine's dinner
at home again this year. I have a few ideas, but haven't settled completely
on any particular items. Here's what I'm considering:


Braised Celery Hearts with Shrimp

Glazed Chicken Livers with Blood-Orange Segments
Mashed Cauliflower

Candied Red Bell Pepper on a Farina Timbale

Apricot Clafoutis (made from dried apricots reconstituted with plum wine)


Has anybody else started their Valentine's Day planning?
