The Dutchman and I are not romantic. I'd like him to be but he's more likely to do the dishes over buying me a bunch of flowers haha. A few years ago, he surprised me by preparing a 4-course meal all by himself. We had just moved and had barely any furniture. The dining table that evening was a ratty, old desk and the table cloth was a bed sheet. Good times.
We enjoyed it so much that it is now an annual tradition- he cooks for me on Sinterklaas and I try to impress him on Christmas Eve/Day.
Dutchman's menu this year:
 |
| Dutch smoked beef sausage with sauerkraut braised in beer, apples and a forest fruit confiture |
 |
| Poached Scottish smoked salmon stuffed with cod and an apple salad |
 |
| Ribeye steak |
 |
| A peach and orange mousse |
 |
| OK this isn't food but the first time he's ever actually surprised me with a present! HAPPY! |
All in all, very tasty! Plus, it only took him a few hours to shop and prepare the meal. I have some ideas for my Christmas dinner but I foresee myself running around like a headless chicken trying to source certain cuts of meat or spending hours in the kitchen just for a single meringue!
