The first time I made osso bucco, I made it with lamb since I couldn't find veal shanks. I promised myself that I'd find veal shanks next time. When I did, I decided to save the opportunity for a Valentine's Day meal. It's nice to go out to a romantic restaurant, but we thought it would be just as nice to avoid the crowd and spend several hours cooking together.
Just like before, we had the saffron risotto, and a bottle of amarone to go with it. The osso bucco with veal was way better than lamb. The veal was way more "fally-aparty", and the bone marrow gave it a good touch of flavour.
And for dessert? Valentine's Day is not complete without chocolate! We made a trip to Kitsilano in the afternoon and visited a local chocolatier called "Chocolate Arts". I really like how their boxes of chocolates aren't organized in trays. Each one is different in this box, so it was a lot of fun picking each time.
