Eek. Quick cooking question-

I'm having a little V-Day party tomorrow, that involves lunch for women and kids. The kids are eating pizza, red fruit, and cookies. The moms? That's my question. I'm definitely serving gougeres, and either red fruit or strawberry spinach salad, depending on the strawberries at the grocery store. And chocolate raspberry tarts (VERY rich) for dessert.

So, lunch. Two options:

1.) Smoked chicken salad with basil Parmesan mayonnaise. Smoked chicken, cheese, proscuitto, sundried tomatoes, mushrooms, and scallions with a basil parm mayo (not homemade, because one of my guests is pregnant.)

2.) Macaroni and cheese with shiitake mushrooms, corn, and bacon. Mac, cheddar cheese, shiitake mushrooms, bacon, super-sweet white corn, parsley, and cream.

if I ate either I'd probably prefer the chicken. I was reading a NY times article about valentine's day couple's menus and they made a comment about how very heavy foods (mostly steaks and carbs and such) were likely to leave couples without the energy to have much amorous activity afterwards. While this is a friends affair and not a romantic dinner, I think the advice is still good.

But the spinach salad sounds good. Short of strawberries, you could use pomegranate?

What would EVER make you think we need energy, with seven kids running around? :)

I'll bet pomegranate would be really good with the spinach salad. I'll have to try that sometime!
