L. and I really do not "celebrate" V~day. We both are strong believers that all these special "things", should be things that are done throughout the year, not saved up for one "big" day. And, since we eat pretty well on a nightly bases, why should this night be any different or for that matter stuck out at a restaurant, paying over priced prices for food that is not that good because it is so busy - save it for a rainy day! In the same breath, it is kind of hard not to get a little sucked into all the pink & red fluff everywhere, so I do always pick up a little token of my love, a bottle of pink bubbly and a card.
Now, since I LOVE to cook as well, I know L. was expecting the big fancy french meal; but, I surprised him with a Jamie Oliver pizza of Pancetta, artichoke hearts and an egg! He was quite surprised!
For dessert I made L.'s favorite dessert, Iles Flottantes - a big Thank You to Tartelette for a wonderful recipe! Not only was it delicious but very easy.

How did the pizza come out? Was the egg just cracked on top and baked? I've been thinking of a carbonara-style pizza for a while now...
I am not a big fan of eggs over food. L. likes it. We cracked the egg in the middle right before baking. He said it was perfect. Cooked just right - still runny but cooked. Jamie Oliver recommends doing the egg. We have eaten it that way in Italy & France as well.
Glad everything turned out good. The pizza looks gorgeous!
