Anniversary Weekend

Kyle and I celebrated our 2nd Anniversary this past weekend. Last year we took a little holiday to celebrate in Western Wisconsin, and were planning a similar concept until Kyle came up with the brilliant idea for us to stay at home and cook fabulous food all weekend with no distractions. So cook we did.


First, we studied


Kyle made bread


We had ravioli for lunch


None of those wonton wrappers for us! We DID live in Italy after all


I'm a little embarrassed about our non-fluted pastry cutter


But it did taste pretty damn good


What is romance without a steak dinner?


Kyle baked some more! This time, brioche


And then we made croque monsieur for breakfast


And because I'm me... some foie gras torchon, even though they weren't very pretty....


They tasted damn good with some truffle salt sprinkled on top


Things I didn't spend the time to take pictures of: the copious bottles of wine consumed, and two other lovely baking projects of Kyle's. Fortunetely, we still have all of the bottles and left overs of the other two projects, so I have more material to post this week (oh, plus the New York pictures, squash soup terrine, and numerous other files clogging up my hard drive).
