Cooking Date Night

Darin and I had a little cooking date night.  

He wanted to make gazpacho and I wanted to make baked Alaska, so we did both!  

Not only was it a fun date, but I was able to check TWO things off of my 30 before 30 list.  

#20- Try a new food—both gazpacho and baked Alaska were new for me 

(however, I would still like to try a fig) 

and #26- Try a challenging recipe—supposedly Baked Alaska is a difficult recipe, 

but I didn’t think it was too hard.  Maybe I’ll have to try a crème Brule or a soufflé.

The gazpacho was a perfect recipe for our garden.  

It called for tomatoes, basil, peppers, and cucumbers.  

Here is Darin chopping up some fresh tomatoes.

A really cheesy picture of the two of us.

A cute helper woke up part way through our “date.”
