![The Valentine’s Day spread:
Dungeness crab from the local fish market. I had never cleaned and cracked a crab before, but it was surprisingly easy (if not a little disgusting). Despite instructions to steam or bake the [already cooked] crab, I followed my parents advice and served it cold, which is how I’ve always eaten it. It was delicious.
Shrimp sauteed in butter, garlic and white wine.
Salad with butter lettuce, pears, goat cheese, pecans and raspberry vinaigrette.
Crusty bread, warm from the oven.
Prosecco.
This was way better than anything we could have had at a restaurant and more fun because we cooked it together.](http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kxxtculEcr1qzili3o1_500.jpg)
