Yesterday we hosted a day-before-Valentine's-Day dinner at our place... I had fun with it!
 |
| I was FLOORED when I saw that AAFES (our local Army store) had FLOWERS!! I haven't seen fresh bouquets of flowers since we left the States. I went home and immediately made sure Peter knew they were there. :-) |

| Ready for guests! |
 |
| Chocolate! This is one of the leaf-impression plates I made at our local Pottery Shop. |
Our menu:
Appetizers: Fresh Strawberries, Crackers with Grandma's Blackberry Jam and Goat Cheese
Main Meal: Bacon wrapped Filet Mignon, Quinoa Salad, Homemade Wheat Rolls, Potato Casserole
Dessert:
 |
| White Chocolate... |
 |
| Oreo Cookie Crust... |
 |
| Raspberry... |
 |
| ...Swirled Cheesecake! |
Whew! That cheesecake was a bit of work, but SO worth it! DELISH. Our friends who came brought a Fruit Tart, Strawberry Napoleons and Cream Puffs, also all AMAZING! We had a fun evening and enough food leftover for another dinner party!
