I had to make many Valentine's Day dishes for a few parties which I was invited to.

All pastas were home-made.

I wish I could be plate as pretty and creatively. Our valentine's dinner was straight up meat and potatoes.

The prime rib I made was small just for the two of us so it was difficult to carve nicely. My hollandaise came out a bit too runny and the potatoes overcooked a little. But the flavor was there eventhough it lacked in good looks.

Excellent pics Dcarch,I really liked the the "hearts" salad and that bottom pic of Shrimp and Salmon is just beautiful

KK, That is a fine looking piece of of Med- rare Prime..And whats in those red potatoes they look good.

I agree, those shrimp hearts are to die for, very clever.  How did you get them to stick together?

Yes lots of love went into my dish, I say I love you with meat lol.  It was just hard to get a good carve on the roast because it was rather small and hubby is no expert.  I think I could've carved it better myself but he was my valentine and he wants to be the carver so I let him. 

The potatoes, just plain boiled potatoes, then tossed in a little olive oil and fresh dill.  And I didn't show it in the picture but I smother them in hollandaise too haha!

Sorry for the link, can't get my photobucket pic to appear on the reply.

Not a criticism at all. I agree the canned stuff was just a short cut. Not the best. I was rushing.

Thanks for the comment.
[*]Koukouvagia , I used cheap ingredients, no prime ribs. so I had to go for a lot of smoke and mirrors. :)[*]
And thanks everyone for your wonderful comments also.
