Wednesday recipe for Valentine's Day?

As the title states, this post is for Valentine's day but not quite a recipe. I had hoped to show off a recipe every Wednesday, but instead I have pictures of the early Valentine's dinner I had with my husband. We used to go to Milestones for their "date night special" on Wednesday, but have not been for months. And with the Olympics coming to town Feb 12th to the 28th, we figured it was best to have a nice quiet dinner out before the 14th.

For this "date night", you get to choose a appetizer to share, main course, and a dessert to share. We had a roasted garlic caesar salad for the appetizer, which is a full entree size.
They had a few things different on the menu, so we both tried the lamb shank. (no pic as we were too busy eating hehe) As for dessert, we had this yummy chocolate "cookie", which is like a cross between a cookie and brownie, topped with vanilla gelato on top.

We also had a bottle of red wine to share for the evening.

It was a nice quiet evening of good food. Unfortunately, getting the leftovers to go meant foregoing some of what was left on my plate, like the mushrooms and gravy. Next time, I will remember to box it up myself or come more hungry! Hope everyone's Wednesday was well and two more days until the weekend! woohoo!

PS. To make up for the loss of lamb shank photos, I have a couple of bbq lamb dinner photos from this past weekend. Yes, I still bbq in January and will continue all year round as long as its not raining/snowing. :D Enjoy the pics.
