    The big day is two weeks away and my plan for the SO is a nice
    homemade dinner. I haven't quite finalized the menu, but currently
    I'm looking at:

    Salad: Couscous salad with chickpeas, dried cranberries, pecans, shaved fennel with a citrus
    vinagrette. Probably will use Israelli couscous (the big type) for some intereseting texture.

    Soup: Something with kale in it. Kale is good. It's both of our's favorite leafy green. I made potato-
    kale soup last night, so something different.

    Main dish: Eggplant en croute. This is an idea I've had for a while, so I'm finally going to make
    it next weekend. Take one medium eggplant, dice it finely. Saute it along with finely dice onion
    and garlic in plenty of EVOO. Let the mixture cool and drain for a bit and then mix it with goat
    cheese and fresh basil. Wrap portions in puff pastry and bake till done. Plating will be on nice
    black plates with stripes of basil pesto and sun-dried tomato pesto. This will be served alongside
    some sort of vegetable, not sure what yet. Possibly asparagus, but not sure if that will go well
    with the flavors. Might also throw in kalamata olives into the eggplant mixture, but that doesn't
    sound too great.

    What are other folks doing?

    I don't know yet. Last year we went to a nice Japanese restaurant. This year I'll probably make
    something with steak, maybe a stir-fry.

    Thanks for sharing your plans. Maybe something with strawberries for dessert? They seem to be
    particularly Valentine-y.

    Mmm -- veal hearts! Interesting

    BTW , does anyone have a recipe for tripe --my grandmother used to make it and it seems to be the
    one thing I remember from my childhood - onions, perhaps condensed milk - not sure what else, but it
    was really good.

    Or raspberry. I'm thinking of a nice Chocolate Decadence Cake with Raspberry Puree. Yum. Maybe I'll
    make that for my birthday this year. Haven't had it in a while. My birthday is close to Valentine's
    Day. :-) Feb. 19th if anyone wants to send me a box of chocolates (I prefer fruit creams - no nuts
    or coffee flavor). ;-) Let me know if you want the recipe.

    Hearts are mighty fine eating. Chicken hearts are even better.
