Figs were on sale at the market, so I got some to make a tart for the wife. When I bought the wine for the chicken marsala, I also picked up a bottle of rose port. After tasting the port, the wife decided she wanted to sweeten and dry the figs.

The wife wanted to eat in to celebrate her birthday last week. She asked for surf and turf:

We bought some fillets at the butcher shop and ordered some lobsters from the Wicked Fresh Lobster Company, a local company that flies in fresh lobsters from Maine. We ordered late, so the lobsters arrived pre-steamed. I was actually a little grateful for that, because cooking lobsters can be quite a production. All I had to do was boil water in a stock pot to re-heat them. That meant I could focus on the steaks and the broccolini.
