Instead of making a dinner reservation this year or exchanging cards and gifts, my husband and I are going to cook together on
Valentine's Day--a romantic dinner at home for two.

We've been married for 30 years and so we've been digging through my recipe files for dishes that "used-to-be" our favorites, but for
some reason we stopped making them. If we can find the recipes, we'll be cooking Pasta Verde with Broccoli, broiling a Marinated Flank Steak, and making Orange Dinner Rolls in our bread machine. And for our Valentine dessert we're going to each buy two pieces of
exquisite handmade chocolates from the chocolate store downtown. The chocolates are pricey little things, dark chocolate for me and milk chocolate for my husband, but they taste divine!

Pasta Verde

4 eggs

1/4 cup whipping cream

3 tablespoons butter

1 1/2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms

1/2 cup finely chopped onion

3 tablespoons butter

1- 10 ounce frozen chopped broccoli, cooked and well drained

12 ounces hot cooked linguine or fettucini

1 cup grated parmesan cheese

pepper

Let eggs, whipping cream and 3 tablespoons of butter stand at room temperature for 2 to 3 hours. In skillet cook mushrooms and onion in 3 tablespoons butter until onion is tender.

Stir in cooked broccoli, heat through. Beat together eggs and whipping cream just until blended. Toss pasta, pour egg mixture over and toss until pasta is well coated. Add broccoli mixture, parmesan cheese and pepper. Toss to mix. Serve immediately.

Broiled Marinated Flank Steak

1 flank steak about 1 1/2 pounds, tenderized with garlic-seasoned meat tenderizer

4 to 6 tablespoons mustard (honey mustard, regular mustard, whatever kind you like)

2 to 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

Put steak on cutting board and with sharp knife, score surface of steak in diagonal crisscross pattern. Don't cut too deeply. Turn and score the other side in the same way.

Sprinkle both sides of steak with meat tenderizer, mix together the mustard and Worcestershire sauce, then spread mixture lightly on both sides of the steak. Cover with plastic wrap and leave for several hours, or overnight in refrigerator.

Broil 4 inches from heat for four to five minutes on each side, depending on thickness and desired doneness. (Should be pink in the middle) Slice very thinly and serve.
