Valentine's Day Dinner

For Valentine's Day, I made poached salmon, mac and cheese, and brussel sprouts braised in white wine. The sprouts turned out perfectly, and mac and cheese is always good. I admit the salmon was a tad overcooked - my kids "needed" me at the critical moment, so I left it in the oven too long. It was still very good, just a touch dry. For dessert I made a chocolate berry melange with raspberry and chocolate sauces, and a dollop of whipped cream. My son actually made the whipped cream. I also made some yummy heart-shaped chocolate butter cookies which offered a nice crispy texture to the dessert, but alas the cookies didn't make it into the picture.
