Just curious to see if anyone else was staying in on what looks to be a stormy Tuesday night.

Also looking for some inspiration for something better to cook than the typical steak dinner.

TIA

Married way too long to worry about Valentine's Day which is fine with her as well. I'll give her the leftover Christmas Hershey Kisses and make her a salad.

And we are both fine with that. Kids going to French Market Bistro and Diguilios. They will learn one day.

We don't typically worry about it either, but it is a good reason to have something different/good to eat.

I think I've decided on a cheesecake for dessert so far. The more I say I don't want steak, the better it is sounding.

I love the butter poached lobster tail method below. I use Kerrigold herb butter sticks and a good bit of tarragon. Sometimes, I flame a little brandy in the mix. Quick, easy and delicious.

Butter Poached Maine Lobster Tails

2 Servings
Ingredients

3 large lobster tails cut in ½ in the shell
1.5 stick of butter, melted
Herbs of your choice: tarragon, dill, parsley, cilantro, basil or a mixture of all
Directions

In a skillet melt the butter on low heat.

Once melted add the tails flesh side down and cook on low heat spooning butter over the shell once in a while for about 10-15 minutes

Turn the tail on shell side and continue basting. The tails are ready when the shells are bright red and the lobster meat is firm and opaque.

Serve directly from the pan with lemon wedges, herbs and crusty bread

Note: You can also take the tails out of the shells. Turn the heat to medium high and deglaze the pan with 1 cup of wine, heavy cream or stock to create a thick sauce, return the tail to the pan and serve.

Steak, potato and a cheap bottle of wine. Easy to justify the cost for one.

Doing an early dinner out than a movie this Friday to coincide with babysitting night at day care.

Tomorrow will be one of those home chef/hello fresh meals I guess.

This will be the first time in a few years I didn't cook a true homemade meal for v-day. Might have to supplement with surprise breakfast in bed.
