Need a killer recipe for a Valentine's Day party

Post #190,434 by drewk 1/16/05 8:50:30 PM Reply	Need a killer recipe for a Valentine's Day party We're invited to an adults-only Valentine's Day party. (Ah, quiet.) Each couple is asked to bring a dish. There will be prizes for the best theme dish and the best tasting. I think my dark chocolate truffles stand a chance in the best tasting, but I'd like to be in the running for best theme, also. I can do them heart shaped, but that doesn't seem like enough. I thought about getting some beef hearts and frying them up, but heart tends to be a little tough. And my wife would kill me. Oh, one of the couples coming ... they're both professional chefs. So like, no pressure or anything. :-/ === Purveyor of Doc Hope's [link\|http://DocHope.com\|fresh-baked dog biscuits and pet treats]. [link\|http://DocHope.com\|http://DocHope.com]

Make each plate a single noodle three feet long. Or go with the artichoke and do chicken saltimbocca. Dredge the chicken in flour, cover with a slice of prosciutto and grill. Transfer to roaster with white wine/lemon sauce, capers and artichoke hearts.
