Valentines Dinner

 Well, as promised, the photos from my valentines dinner i made with Dave.

These are also things i wanted to cook on my 'to cook list' so im pretty happy!

This is the first time i cooked seafood.. i honestly don't think I've ever made anything with seafood in it.. (just realising it now.. ) Oh, sides boiling some prawns..

 Anyways, we made some baked oysters, Dave and i made a giant pot of mornay sauce so we used that to top up the oysters and scallops.

 yumm!! the only sad thing about this was the oysters were slightly undercooked and the scallops were a little overcooked :( but other than that it was yummy =D

 they looked yummy too =D

 but i wasn't able to eat much, seafood makes me full pretty fast..

 because we had a dozen oysters we decided to deep fry half of them along with some mushrooms we had

 

 And for our main, i made a beef wellington with prosciutto and mushroom filling.

We left it in for too long so the beef ended up being well done, but because we got a nice cut it wasnt dry and chewy :) 

Dave was able to finish it but i still cant eat well done meat.

 and with our left over beef i made a beef tartare, just a little sample one cause i wanted to just cross that off my list.

for desserts was strawberries dipped in chocolate, i really wished we had more right now, have the biggest cravings.. yum.

I'll make more beef wellingtons next time i have a little tea party :)

 preparing the wellington, and dont feel gross, thats glad wrap on the table..

 $10 worth of scallops..

 My lovely present from my lovely boyfriend

Now for some random photos.. 

 

for people who have polaroids and have no idea what to do with them, i have an idea!

 Make a scrapbook =D

 i bought a medium size scrapbook and put about almost over 100 Polaroids in already :)

 i need more stickers tho.. =D

 And i realised yesterday i have a little obsession when it comes to pendants..

 i have an obsession with keys, the reason is a bit too high school corny, but I've always had this thing.. where i had the key to something special.. lol..

And hearts.. because the character in my stories wore a heart pendant..
but, thats another weird story.. 

And for some things i bought in Melbourne

 BEES WAX CANDLE KIT!!!

 i seriously have been looking for this for years!! i saw this when i was in high school after we had a black out one night, my parents looked all over the house for candles and they burnt out so fast. bees wax are suppose to last longer (barely burning anything while lit) and its organic, so im so happy i was able to find it :)

 Cute little gummy candy, it came in little lip gloss container.. =D so cute..

 a piece of chocolate from Chokolait =D by the time i opened it it was already crushed.. :( boo..

 And my chocolate from shocolate.. lol these chocolate cafe names.. teehe

these were amazing... soo yummy.. man i need to get more..

We had dinner with Daves parents tonight and we paid for once lol, but they gave us some clothes protectors for my dresses.. and mann.. i never realised how much dresses i had..

i feel sorta bad that i only ever wear my dresses either once or twice.. i feel like i should rent out my clothes so they are being used.. but i dont want people to go clubbing in them and ruin them :( i dont know what to do..

And some mobile uploads.

 a little valentines gift from kyleen! YUMM!

 and after dinner, dave and i spent the night drawing tattoos on each other, but i didnt take any pictures of the ones he drew on me, cause he didnt do much drawing.. lol!!! i ended up scribbling all over our bodies with little mushrooms and stars..

lovo in Melbourne

and a little gift i got kyleen for letting me borrow her Polaroid while i was away
