I wanted to post my pics on this blog, I think I got most of the pics of the food, although I did not get a pic of the dinner we had at the place we were staying at. It was really good, we both had steaks Jen's came with borsin mashed potatoes, mine came with shrimp and bernaise saucce, I think we were to buys devouring it to remember to take pictures.

Pork Loin
Had some pork loin in the freezer. Had some left over spinach and mushrooms so I decided to stuff the pork loin with both. It was pretty good except while trussing up the loin after stuffing the mixture started to fall out, and even more fell out while trying to brown the thing in the pot. The recipe I was adopting said to cook the whole thing on the stove top, but Jen wisely suggested to throw it in the oven. It came out juicy and tender. I made a balsamic reduction for a glaze at the end. I did not get any pics of the final dish arranged but here is the spoon with the glaze (it got thick!) and the left over loin.
Our 12th…..
Here are some pics from the meal I prepared for our 12th Anniversary dinner. Jen likes lasagna, she also likes ravioli, so I combined the two and made ravioli lasagna! I made a ground beef, spinach and mushroom mixture for the ravioli stuffing and made some marinara sauce. After I browned the beef I added the spinach and sauted mushrooms all together in the food processor with some bread crumbs and an egg to make the texture easier to deal with to stuff into the pasta sheets. It turned out pretty good I think. I got to use the ravioli maker Jen got me for xmas, works like a charm. Enjoy the pics.
