We went out for Italian today I will never go to a restaurant on Valentines day again. Had a bad one years ago in LI with grumpy friend and his wife(RIP). Today was awesome with leftovers for tomorrow.Just Call Me Chuck

Re: Early valentines day dinner..
Looks delicious Al, I'm starving now. I'm a steak fiend, my favorite food for sure. I've been really honing my technique over the last few years and more often than not would MUCH rather eat a steak cooked at home than a steak cooked in a restaurant....those professionals just can't do it like me you know? haha-MattComment

Steaks are my favorite as well. Professional chefs can do a wonderful job of cooking meals but when it comes to my steak..no one does it better than me..lol. For what a good steak costs in a restaurant there are quite a few chefs out there that probably should hone their skills on steaks a bit more. I have had some very disappointing restaurant steaks.
The only thing I wish I could have done different on these steaks was I used our gas grill. We got 10-12 inches of snow yesterday... My firepit was not an option and I much prefer steak cooked over wood coals than gas. .. it has more flavor. These steaks were pretty darn good though!

Re: Early valentines day dinner..
That looks so yummy Al.Tom had me buy five pounds of large shell-on shrimp yesterday and we will be making my most favorite dish, boiled shrimp using my grandmothers recipe and it's totally different then all shrimp recipes. I had to recall this recipe from childhood so I am sure it's not quite the same but it works for me

Re: Early valentines day dinner..
My wife and I are also big on spluring for really nice steaks for occasions like this. Today I'll be making a dry-aged prime ribeye complete with baked potato and roasted broccoli.JakeComment

Re: Early valentines day dinner..
Looks like a good dinner. We don't really do anything for Valentine's Day, but I did make a heart shaped card and left it in wife's car this morning. And one for each of the kids too. Our favorite dinner as a family is sushi, so I already ordered that to pick up on my way home from work. But I worry that there's a good chance I'm going to forget to pick it up!Comment

Re: Early valentines day dinner..
I've thought it might be cool to get a half cow from a free range farm one day to fill our chest freezer... only problem is its filled with film and fishfood.AquaticSuppliers.comFoods your Discus will Love!!!

Re: Early valentines day dinner..
Photos? Sounds delicious! Dry-Aged Prime Rib eye? Do you have a good custom butcher/meat market near you Jake? My best local option is our Big Y grocery store but we dont get much out of the ordinary cuts. The meat is fresh at least and reasonably priced quality cuts.

I've also floated the idea of doing something similar with a chest freezer, except buying the meat from costco or other bulk "grocery" store. Haven't pulled the trigger yet thoughJakeComment

Re: Early valentines day dinner..
No photos here, unfortunately. The wife and I couldn't wait to dig in to the meal yesterday that I forgot all about it! I'm fortunate enough to have a custom butcher about half a mile from where we live. I can get all sorts of custom cuts, etc. They're much pricier than the big chain groceries, so we usually only go there to get meat for special occasions.

Re: Early valentines day dinner..
I did!
Had to wait about 20 minutes, but that actually wasn't too bad. The place was PACKED. It's actually good to see as this city is where restaurants go to die unless it's a terrible chain place like Applebees. We always joke that if they opened another Applebees across the street from our current one, they'd both be packed all the time.
The first week that the sushi place opened I went. Some random old guy came in and was yelling at the hostess because she wasn't Japanese and he didn't think it was probably a real sushi place because of that. Of course he had zero intent on eating their either way... just dropped in to be an, well... you know what he was being. Anyway, that's the kind of headwinds places like this have here, unfortunately. But it's doing very well, thankfully. They've even taken out some of the half walls and stuff to make room for a few additional tables. They've been around for awhile now and even survived through COVID.Comment
