t's February, and love is in the air.
While Valentine's Day certainly is
not a Jewish holiday,
many of us love to get
those flowers from our
loved ones and remind
those important to us
that they are special to
us.
Some will tell you it's
a Hallmark holiday, and,
well, it is. But so what?
There is certainly no
harm in acknowledg-
ing the people we love
— including children,
friends, even parents —
with a little symbol (a card, a phone
call, a treat) of your esteem.

Dressing:
% cup olive oil
2 Tbsp. cider vinegar
2 Tbsp. honey
2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
2 tsp. grained Dijon mustard
1'/2 tsp. minced garlic

Prepare the salad: Quarter the
Brussels sprouts. Set aside. Place a
colander in the sink. Set aside. Bring
a pot of water to a boil over high
heat. Add the Brussels sprouts, and
stir well. Watch the sprouts while
they cook. When the leaves turn
bright green (it only takes a minute
or two of cooking), drain them in the
colander, running cold water over to

Me? I say it with food that is just a
bit more exceptional than everyday
fare. So I will spend a little
extra time, buy some ingre-
dients that are a bit more
expensive and, of course,
serve chocolate, the dessert
of love.
Letting those you know
that you love and appreciate
them — and feeling their
love — will make even the
chilliest February day warmer
and happier. So on this week's
menu are special foods: a
bright and tangy salad; steak,
simple and sublime with sau-
teed mushrooms; and, for dessert, that
requisite chocolate.

stop the cooking process. Drain well.
Set aside.

Prepare the dressing: Combine all
dressing ingredients in a medium
bowl, and whisk well.

Toss the salad: Place the Brussels
sprouts in a large bowl. Add the
cranberries, almonds and about half
of the dressing. Toss well. Add salt
and freshly ground pepper to taste,
and add more dressing, if desired, to
taste. Serve the salad with the shaved
cheese over the top.
Makes 6 servings.
