Although we had chicken last night, the Landlady insisted on making this tonight.

First, I quartered some red potatoes and coated them with olive oil then roasted them with onion and garlic.

Meanwhile, the sliced ham and Swiss cheese got wrapped in boneless breasts and coated with bread crumbs. Baked at 375-degrees for about 35 minutes.

The chicken will be served with a light gravy.

A simple green salad with tomato on the side.

8. Day Late Valentine's Dinner

I subbed both days, but schedule worked out for me being done at 1pm.
On Valentine's Day, when I got home, my wife said she was too tired to eat a big meal.
So we did it today.
The Menu:
• Filet Mignon served with shallots & mushrooms sautéed in cabernet & garlic.
• Pan seared scallops with brown butter, simply seasoned with salt, paprika & lemon zest.
• Potato Pancake with chopped scallions, minced parsley & cilantro, seasoned with salt, white pepper, cinnamon, & cayenne.
Bailed on the asparagus. Seemed to be enough food to fit on a plate.
I presented it & set the table. My wife enjoyed it.
