February Blur Part II

The second half of February was also very busy for us so here's a quick recap.
We made an AMAZING salad for Valentine's Day. We tweaked this recipe; our version included panko-breaded, baked goat cheese rounds, homemade vinaigrette, dried sour cherries, and butter roasted pecans. It is so delicious that I highly recommend it as a main course.

The salad was so good, it almost stole the show from the king crab legs that we steamed though Stinky had no time for salads and was very interested in the briny sea smell in the air.

We went to a friend's housewarming party where Austin made our favorite crostinis--toasted baguette slices topped with Boursin and roasted red peppers drizzled in balsamic and topped with parsley chiffonade. It was an event where we were going to stay for a bit but ended up staying all night. The event included a dance party of professors and a spontaneous dart game. The next morning, we all went out for breakfast and discovered a fantastic new dive breakfast joint.

Finally, we ended the month celebrating brother Sean's 30th birthday. It was one of those parties that was so crazy, well, gentle readers of this blog,all I can say is that it was "one of those parties" and leave it at that.
