Valentine's Day

An observation made while out purchasing groceries for tonight's meal:

King Sooper's Floral Department: When you care enough to wait until the very last minute and end up buying whatever is cheapest at the grocery store thinking your significant other won't know, but I hope you enjoy sleeping on the sofa anyway.

As for the happenings at WWR Global HQ, I'm set to whip up Chicken Francese, Potato Croquettes, and Roasted Vegetables, served with a bottle or two of Pinot Grigio. Details, recipes, and such to follow.

Update: OK, not my best work in the kitchen, but it's not the fault of the recipes. Rather, Comcast showed up whilst I was cooking to replace our cable box, resulting in some uneven cooking time as I discussed problems and such.

Anyway, the recipes:

Chicken Francese

Potato Croquettes

Roasted Vegetables: Set oven to 400F. Slice and dice and chop some red onion, carrot, zucchini, red pepper, and garlic. Toss with extra-virgin olive oil, Kosher salt, and freshly-cracked black pepper. Dump into an oiled pan and roast for one hour; turn halfway through.

I'd tell you about the wine, but the bottle is upstairs. Maybe later.

Happy V-day, y'all.
