When I lived in Rochester right before Tim and I left on our bike trip, we were living with a couple named Enrica and George. When Tim went to his visit day at MIT, I remember Enrica and George made me this delicious dinner. It was an italian dish, and it was a lemon cream sauce with bacon in it. I could never really find a recipe to guide me in making that dish online, so for Valentines day, I thought I'd have fun and try to invent it myself! I cooked up some bacon, then removed it from the pan and poured out the grease. I sauted shallots in the bacon grits, and then I added some heavy cream, salt, pepper, the bacon bits, and lemon zest. I reduced the sauce, then I added freshly squeezed lemon juice and fresh parsley. I ate it over some lemon pasta that I had gotten from Berkeley Bowl (and now am determined to figure out how to make it myself!). It was really good! I've been eating the leftovers ever since, and they are great!
I was really proud of these two valentines day cards that I made this year:
