Pork Scallopini with Wild Mushroom Gravy

Valentines day.

After almost 25 years of marriage, this day of hearts, and flowers, takes on a whole new meaning.

I find myself less concerned with romantic overtures, and more interested in the things that really matter like health, happiness, kindness, and true friendship so that this Valentines day I want to take the time for gratitude that I have been blessed with such a relationship.

I mean seriously.

Who would have put up with all this over the years?

Let alone been willing to film it?

Pretty much, no one but the Pool Boy - the beloved man I married who has lately, taken up a video camera and become quite the Svengali - filming produce, crispy fried meats, and luscious gravies with the deft eye of a man who knows what cream sauce should look like when gently drizzled over roasted meat.

That he says things like: "We have to close the curtains before filming" while we both crack up because the only thing we'll be shooting is radishes, makes me love him even more - and made coming up with a valentines meal for him this year that much more fun.

And I promise, my Pork Scallopini with Mushroom Gravy is a crispy, tender dish anyone will love.
