OK. I officially jealous. That's about the most romantic menu I can imagine, with or without the teenage screamers.

I have to confess to never having heard of Timbales before. After looking them up, I think I may have eaten one and never realized it had a special name. There seems to be a number of recipes for spinach timbales on the internet and I think I'm going to try and make them next week. Lynn, what kind of a mold do you use?

We had them first at the Sugar Mill restaurant and hotel on Tortola in the BVI. This is that recipe from their cookbook, OA. I make them in half-cup ramekins. I snapped this pic after I took them out of the oven. After five minutes of cooling, you tip them over onto a plate, top with a sauce if you like and serve.

I love it... especially with the food! It looks fantastic and sounds wonderful!!! (despite the shreaking girls. lol!)

Your semi-romantic tablescape looks wonderful! LOL...semi-romantic & 3 teenage girls! Great combo! Your angel & basket of flowers fits so nicely & the R&W dishes.

Breakfast for the slumbered girls...they probably didn't notice the cute table settings! Looks like a great weekend! TFS! Jeanne S. (and the strawberries dish is my fav!)

PM: yes, that shieking did get a bit much, but they're sweet girls, so we just chuckled and turned up the music a bit more ;^D
Jeanne: thank you! The Strawberies Romanoff is the easiest dessert to make: fresh strawberries served with a small bowl of sour cream surrounded by a ring of brown sugar. I love serving this!

Lynn, your post brought back many memories of our kids sleepovers! Some good, some not-so-good but all interesting! Boys sleepovers are different from girls! Girls are not as quiet but you usually know what they are up to! Boys, not so much!

I love reading your menus and sometimes have to google to find the recipes to know what you have served. I only eat really interesting things in restaurants as I'm married to a mostly meat/potatoes guy!

Anyhow your food looks delish and your table very romantic! Always love seeing your TS's.

Luckygal, thanks! This was a fun one to do.

Made me reflect and laugh when my DD was that age, and had similiar sleep overs...However NOT on the night before Valentine's Day! You and DH are good sports...lol
Love your setting - very romantic and that dinner is another winner.
Love it all.

Lynn,

You are such a busy lady and do it all so well. I have enjoyed seeing all your tables and food. Your table for 2 is as great as your large ones.

Nice that you can laugh about the girls shrieking. They are at a fun age.

Lynn,
There you go, using plaid! I love the contrast that plaid brings to a sometimes maybe-too-frilly table. It also gives a nod to the male participant in this most romantic of holidays!
And I love the little flower plates you're serving the strawberries in. Are they dessert plates or perhaps chip-and-dip? It looks like they're all one piece.

Menu sounds wonderful, where do you find the time?
