Date Nights

Some of Kevin and my favorite weekend nights have been spent in the kitchen. We quickly discovered that for us, going out to eat in Memphis is more about the actual going out part: dressing up and having a different environment than our apartment. Memphis's culinary options, more often than not, lack imagination. There are the spots that we like to visit now and again, but it gets pricey and since we genuinely enjoy cooking together, dinner dates at home have become the norm.

Fish has become a theme for these dinner dates. Neither Kevin or I are vegetarian, but we rarely eat meat. When we do, it's fish. We love fish. Raw, smoked, grilled, seared... it's all good.

This meal started with Mahi Mahi. Kevin grilled it and made an avocado salsa. I sauted some snap peas and mushrooms and made a peanut better slaw. The artistic presentation was thanks to Kevins passion for tempting all the senses with his meals.
