I’m a Cooking Fool

Tonight is Friday date night for hubby and me, and I want to make it extra special.
On the menu tonight will be appetizers. I will be serving Brie cheese, crackers, red grapes, and panko fried zucchini. They should go very well with my martini. Hubby will have water as usual.
Our main course will be extra jumbo shrimp scampi with baby peas in linguine and a small green salad. I will have white wine. Hubby will have water.
And for dessert, which we rarely have, will be my just made fig and honey galette. It came out so beautifully. I will warm it up while we enjoy our dinner.
I’m going to wear a new dress that I brought home from Florida. No reason to save it for something. When this virus is over, I’ll be going on a huge shopping spree for sure!

I'm happy I could help! I usually make crostini with figs as an appetizer, but was able to get a load of ripe figs. This is my first ever fig galette, but I licked my finger and it tasted heavenly!!!! Gotta do something new every once in a while these days.

All that good food, sounds like you and hubby are going to enjoy tonight! I do have to ask though, why is hubby stuck only drinking water?

@DianneN Sure, but I also happen to be right in the middle of trying to clean up my kitchen as well, so it might take me a little while before I can get there.

Wow, that sounds like lovely food . I've never seen anything like the fig galette.
I like your way of thinking. Yes. Don't save things for "special". Everyday is special :-)

@DianneN So welcome. Aw I would love someone to cook for me. I think I'm more like your husband when it comes to cooking. I like to think I cook well, but it for sure isn't fancy. Tonight I'm making sauerkraut soup. It isn't very picturesque but boy do I like it.
I'm sorry about your mom

Omg I am salivating as I read this. And omg I am just realizing it is Friday again . I absolutely love fresh figs . . . this galette looks amazeballs (I just wish the rest of the family enjoyed figs - they won't eat any ). You will be the belle of the ball tonight . .. enjoy, devour, and live it up tonight on your date night !!
