Valentine's Dinner!

What a month, broken oven, Nick was gone for at least 2 weeks, we had visitors (<3 which a gluten free option of  clams in white wine and tomatoes was born)  and finally things are back to normal.

We did another version of the Lobster Clambake from our January, Christmas dinner. 

2 Florida lobsters (they don't have claws!)
2 ears of corn
8 fingerling potatoes (or whichever, just tiny potatoes)
1 lb of clams
4 celery stalks

We used the cleaned husks from the corn again.  Fill a pot of 3 to 4 inches of water and lay the corn husks in the bottom. Put the two lobsters on the husks and arrange the potatoes and corn on top.  We then stuffed the celery around it so the clams could steam on top.  Cook for about 20 to 30 minutes until the clams open.

PLEASE check out how much lobster tail meat, OH. MY. GOD.  It was so good.

I had spent the whole day doing sugar cookies, which I will eventually post the recipe to, but I OBVIOUSLY wanted more desserts.

Chocolate covered strawberries, yes please.

I boiled about 3 inches of water and put that bowl in the boiling water.  I mixed the melting chips in 2 tablespoons of butter and a splash of milk. 

Wash and make sure the strawberries are completely dry. Dip them and cover them with chocolate, then they should be placed on wax paper so not to lose the bottom layer of chocolate.

Hope you all had a Happy Valentine's Day!!

 oh! P.S. Do not pour out the water from the clambake!  We made seafood stew today with it, which you will see soon!!
