An OS Valentine's meal?

The recipe (such as it is) is simply one egg to one ounce of dark chocolate. I use G&B Organic, but I guess any good dark choc would do. I usually do about 5 eggs at a time, so 5 mousses. Melt the choc and when slightly cooled add the egg yolks. Whisk the egg whites till stiff and fold them into the choc/yolk mixture a bit at a time. Put into little dishes and refridgerate. You can eat them like this or heat them and make little souffles. Heat oven to 200 and cook them for 6 mins - no longer.0

Thank you OW! I have just spilled the double cream for my chocolate-cream-1 million calories desserts all over the floor! Arrghh.........
But we have chocolate still, and eggsSo might make your mousses if I get a bit of time. I also have a new electric whisk to play with.
BTW I am cooking this http://www.tesco.com/recipes/product.aspx?R=672 for DH. Looks like I can prep in advance and cook it once the kids are in bed while we have a glass of wine and starterThat man is richest whose pleasures are cheapest. Henry David Thoreau0 -
Wow, that sounds fantastic spiddy100 - hope DH appreciates your effort. I had planned to do Pork Fillet with Prunes and Creme Fraiche. However, I bought an M&S chicken at lunchtime so we might just end up having that with roasties (done in goose fat, of course) and roasted veg. We'll have choc mousse and bubbly too, of course. We are going out for a late Valentine Meal on Thursday lunchtime (when DS is at school, poor soul) which should be a bit quieter, not to mention better value. I feel a bit of a hypocrite because I was the one who started "Do You Ever Eat Out and Wish You Hadn't Bothered?" thread. But you can't turn down a treat, can you? DH is taking me to The Kitchin in Edinburgh which is getting rave reviews and has just got its first Michelin star. So here's hoping that my faith in eating out might be restored.0

hi
its my OH birthday soon and I want to cook him a candle lit meal for 2. Any ideas for cheap suggestions/recipes. He doesn't like fruit or eggs! cheers0 -
Soup is always nice to start, cheap too and you could make some HM rolls to go with it and maybe try and make them heart shaped if you're feeling like going really OTT!!
Or for romance I don't think you can beat food that you can eat with your hands - I make a starter similar to one that Frankie and Bennys do.....it's a chunky tomato sauce in an oven-proof dish with a sprinkling of your fave cheese over it - you bake it til the cheese melts and its all bubbling and then serve with small pieces of toasted ciabatta or breadsticks or similar and then dip and eat. Sometimes I do little individual ones or for your purposes, do one bigger one and share. Its so cheap to make and looks really impressive and a bit different. goodluck!

dont forget, cut any bread into heart shapes, pipe potato into hearts, in fact anything you can shape into a heart, do it!! OOOOO and a dash of pink food colouring in the mash makes em all pink n' lovely!!!Sig ah Sig Ahhh0

Along these lines - does anyone know of where to buy an inexpensive heart-shaped cake tin? Apart from ebay that is. Think I may make a cake for valentines!2015 wins: Jan: Leeds Castle tickets; Feb: Kindle Fire, Years supply Ricola March: £50 Sports Direct voucher April: DSLR camera June: £500 Bingo July: £50 co-op voucher0

Sorry, should have made it clearer - i was after something on the high street rather than buying online as i don't have a cc or debit card. I suppose i could always use a round cake tin and cut it into a heart shape - though the opportunities for messing it all up are bigger this way maybe.2015 wins: Jan: Leeds Castle tickets; Feb: Kindle Fire, Years supply Ricola March: £50 Sports Direct voucher April: DSLR camera June: £500 Bingo July: £50 co-op voucher0
