A Romantic Dinner?

Tomorrow is Valentine's Day, and Scott's birthday!  We have typically not done anything very extravagant for this day.  Scott usually doesn't want anyone to make a big deal about his birthday, and since they are on the same day, we just don't make a big deal out of Valentine's Day either.  We're planning to go out to eat tomorrow night in celebration.

But, since I was cooking supper tonight, I thought I would get a little festive.  I found a recipe for chocolate filled red velvet cupcakes, so I decided to try them out.
You make the chocolate truffles from choc. chips, butter, and milk, and then freeze them in balls.  Then you put one ball in the middle of each of the cupcakes.

I baked them about 5 minutes longer than the recipe called for, and hoped they would stay nice and round...although I had a sneaking suspicion the tops would cave in anyway.  I was right!

Here is a cupcake with the gooey middle coming out.  They were pretty good!

I also got a little playful with the meatloaf...who doesn't want their meatloaf in the shape of a heart?
