valentine's: a rare cooking opportunity!

mike and i, not sure what to make for valentine's day dinner, turned to the internet to find a recipe for some kind of pasta with tomatoes. we were in luck! it turns out there are a ton! we picked a champagne, tomato, mushroom sauce with shrimp. can you guess which bowl was mine? we also made strawberry shortcake for dessert. both turned out delicious, so i wanted to keep a pointer to the recipes for posterity! hopefully allrecipes doesn't go kaput.

i did cut the shortcake a little small, so it was difficult to make a nice piece of shortcake with strawberry - but you could just pile the strawberries on top. yummy anyway. next time, i'll remember to cut the shortcake into bigger pieces, maybe 2x2 in squares instead of 1x1 >.<... also, sadly, i completely forgot that you can make whipped cream out of heavy cream! sigh. so we initially ate our strawberry shortcake without whipped cream. oops!
