Valentine's Day Starts it off

I've been blogging on all things business. Even though I like what I do to make money, I am passionate about creating great food and drink.  I get even more excited about consuming food and drink.  So the blog starts.  

I started thinking about the blog and the meals for Valentines Day this morning about 6 am.  I was hungry at the time and the house was a mess.  During the cleaning process, (which I am often not involved with)  I  thought what Jess likes best.  For brunch out, she always orders Eggs Benedict Florentine and that is what I made.  I also created a side dish of roasted Sweet Potatoes with Shitakes.  For a beverage besides the usual coffee I made a Mandarin Ginger Champagne Cocktail.  

We are midcourse in Dinner because Jessica wanted to watch a Romantic "Comedy" (I stress the quotes.  For the first course I made two appetizers, Olive Oil Roasted Tomatoes with Rosemary and melted Gorgonzola.  The tomatoes came out to a wonderful texture. I paired them with the RH Phillips Night Harvest Chardonnay, which was overwhelmed by the gorgonzola.  I usually enjoy chardonnay with the bleu family but it needs to be crisp with more berries less melons.  (insert sexual comment)  I also made a three cheese and garlic  bread/pizza/I'm sure there is an italian word for it with an habanero tomato dipping sauce.

That was fantastic.

I have to go back to dinner now....   There is a commercial from the HORRIBLE Heather Locklear move (redundant?)
