My Valentines Day Gift To My Wife... Snacks
Feb 14th, 2008 by Greg Bulmash
I've been softening up my wife throughout the week, buying her little just because gifts... some books, some avocados, some of the chocolates I brought her on our first date. Tonight, though, I pull out the big guns... Pastry and booze!
For the pastry, I picked some store-bought French madeleine cookies, because they're one of her favorites. I sliced them open, spread either Nutella or a lemon curd inside, topped it with some seedless raspberry jam, then reattached the halves. I'm serving it with a chilled Cava (a dry, white sparkling wine from Spain), sweetened with a hint of cherry syrup.
I just hope her head doesn't explode.
Ka-blooey!!
