Hearts On Fire - I should've called the fire department So, you ask whatever happened with Victoria while we warmed up the heart shaped Valentine’s Day pizza? Well, we found ourselves on her leather couch when she turned on Days of Our Lives of course . . . So, I picked Vicki up for our second date to have dinner with me. Once you seduce a girl with a heart shaped pizza, it’s very difficult to surprise her but I had a plan. I made all the preparations earlier that day including this Italian recipe for shrimp I found in a cookbook from Firenze. It involved sautéed breaded shrimp and a simple tomato sauce, the finishing touch being they’re flambéed in cognac before finding their way into the sauce. How could I miss? The entrée would be accompanied by a salad, a pesto pasta, and chocolate mousse. When I arrived at her door, she looked more stunning than ever before. We were both a little more quiet than Valentine’s Day during the drive. When we arrived, she noticed I already had some classical music she liked playing. I poured her a glass of wine and told her I’d be right back. I brought out the pasta and salad. She smiled graciously. There was only one more step. All I had to do was warm the cognac so it would ignite. I came from the kitchen with my brightly flaming dish of golden brown shrimp in hand as I watched her eyes widen beyond belief. This was precious! After the flames subsided, I plated the shrimp along with the tomato sauce. After the clinking of the glasses and a long look into her beautiful eyes, we began. Then it happened. Math always came easy to me. I suppose there are only one or two explanations for the result. While halving everything in the recipe but the amount of cognac produces the most amazing visual display, that’s where it ends. The wide eyed look on Vicki’s face when I brought the flaming prawns out contrasted greatly from the grimace after the first bite. The embittered shrimp had the same effect on me. It was disaster on a scale I can hardly convey. Of course we were able to laugh about it once we were past the initial shock. It highlighted the advantages to multiple course meals and mousse was her favorite so all was not lost. Just like Days of Our Lives, it was another bittersweet moment in history.  |

Thank you silence. Had, everything gone off without a hitch, the fire may have been somewhere else! LOL Seriously, the story wouldn't have been half as interesting if it wasn't for my pyrotechnical display.

Great photo! One of the photos in my profile is of me standing by the stove and unfortunately, my camera was unable to capture it but the flames emanating from the pan are almost to the ceiling. No neighbors were harmed during the production of my photo. I double check all flammable recipes now but I give the flight attendant emergency exit speech beforehand to my guests just in case!
