Post by: Drac on February 14, 2011, 05:51:32 PM
Evening all,

Did up a little dinner for tonight (have to justify the toys ;D) for Amy.

Started out with a lobster tail in a simple sugar/salt brine -

To go with it a beer bread using a double chocolate stout (got have chocolate, it is Valentines Day after all).  The recipe on the side is in a menu holder I get from restaurant supply store.  Cheap and keeps the paper clean.  As you can see the pan is old and well used -
