Valentines day continuation

After the appetizers and a huge breakfast and sneaking a few oatmeal cookies, Jess was full so we took a break to watch "Break Up" which was not as bad as I thought it was going to be.  It did remind me of a few meal I have made.

Sometimes I have some ideas for dishes that I want to try out.  They are all fantastic on their own but when preparing a meal there has to be harmony, just like the parts of a symphony.  "Break Up" had a lot of funny characters and parts but they really did not mesh. Although, Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Anniston in anything is going to be better than Heather Locklear.  

I had prepped up the salad course as well as the entree but Jess was still too full.  Once we had some room she decided to go for the Salad which was mint arugula and Frisee with Lemon Truffle marinated Mango over Avocado.  Although  I work with all of the ingredients often, it was a first and it was fantastic.  I paired it with the 2007 Indaba Sauvignon Blanc which I think might be my choice for best wine under $7 a bottle.  We finished the movie napped and watched some Saturday Night Live.  I usually make it about halfway through the monologue but actually made it well into the show before my eyelids won out.  

On a side it was my first time watching the Jonas Brothers and really do not understand their popularity, another sign I am getting old.
