It turned out to be a good call, as Jo had an enormous week at work and as she drops me to work, it meant we were both having very long days, thankfully for me I did not have to endure some of the stress that went with Jo’s job this week.
As we were spending the night at home did not mean it could not be a little bit special, so to spoil the girl just a wee bit, I prepared a three course meal for her dinner, a dinner for two!
On the menu tonight we had
Pumpkin Soup
Veal Rib Eye with Eggplant Salad, Creamy Mashed Potato
and a Red Wine Tomato Sauce
and a Red Wine Tomato Sauce
Crème Caramel, served with Villa Tinto Dessert Wine
Jo as usual did a beautiful job preparing the table, choosing a red on white theme, she says was inspired by the red shirt I was wearing whilst I prepared the meal. The centre piece being a bouquet of red and white roses, which teamed very nicely with the little glass candles, she had placed at either end of the table. Jo always manages to bring something from past special occasions to the table, on this occasion it was these candles which brought back wonderful memories of the wedding of our good friends Dennis and Tracey.
I think we are both hoping that the upcoming week is somewhat quieter, we have at least a long weekend to look forward too, which will in itself be a busy weekend, but for this weekend we have enjoyed some quality time together, shared a beautiful meal, not to mention some great wine.
So hopefully if it does become a bit hectic at work, we will be able to reflect back on some nice moments from our dinner for two, and that will helps us get through!
