Cupidos arrows remorselessly rebound. The winter chives are to weak for piercing the heart of my adored love. I have accepted, that she does not read my blog and often disdains my food experiments. However, she tried from both hearts. That means to me that the starter succeeded. The red heart is graved salmon with dill. The green heart are avocado cubes with tomatoes and chervil. The drops of blood from ketchup as in the theatre. Simple and relatively quickly. My contribution to the Roundup of Valentine’s day in the cooking pot. see recipe
