A Christmas Date

Last Saturday night we had date night - dinner and a movie. Rather than go out to eat which we usually do about once a weekend, I decided to make Bryan a big fancy Christmas Dinner. Here is what was on the menu.

Appetizer - Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus
Main Course - Horseradish Dill Roast Beef, Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Parmesan Green Beans
Dessert - Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge

The asparagus turned out excellent. I didn't have any balsamic vinegar so I used some balsamic vinagrette salad dressing that I had and it worked just fine. I kind of cheated for the main course because I used boxed mashed potatoes and mixed in some roasted garlic (which I really did roast - no cheating there!) and steamed some frozen green beans and added some parmesan before serving. The fudge was good but very rich. It did not set like fudge does and had to keep it in the fridge or freezer or else it would get very soft.

Would you eat it again? Yes, but for more people. We definitely got sick of eating roast beef sandwiches!
