Rather than do the crowded Restaurant thing, this year in honour of Valentines day we decided to stay in whilst I cooked a decent meal.
So armed with a couple of cook books (Jamie Oliver's Ministry of Food and Hairy Bikers' Mum Knows Best) I rustled up Vegetable Bhajis, Chicken Tarka Masala Curry and finished off with Baked Alaska.
The Bhajis were extremely tasty. There's a bit of mixture left in the fridge so I'll deep fry a few more tomorrow. The Curry was spicy, but not hot and went down OK.
Baked Alaska was an adventurous experiment. Ice cream in the oven! Turned out OK, but slightly overcooked due to trying to make sure that the meringue covering was starting to brown.
Meal was a success. The only thing missing was a couple 'sucking face' on the table next to us, and the annoying single rose sellers.
We've exchanged gifts. For Him - a new FatFace shirt. For Her a Sofia + Sam laptop desk (I got one of these for myself too, so we can tweet at each other in comfort.)
The title of this blog post is courtesy of a tweet from cha0tic on learning that I'd put some hard rock music on to cook to.

So it wasn't 'A Whole lot of Roastie then' :)
Nor was it "You Cook Me All Night Long" :) Bizarrely it was a copy of "For those about to Rock" that I'd picked up on CD last week.
