Chicken Thighs with Cilantro Sauce from the March 2014 Cooking Light. We had a particularly hot shallot, so we give this a 3. Could easily be a 4 with a more balanced allium. Served with an impromptu salad with apple, bell pepper and celery.

No wine, as we went to see Wonderbound's production of "Love."

Dessert after the show was the "Top Secret Mousse" from NPR's Found Recipe series. This was excellent, gets a 4. Served with Secco Italian Bubbles 2011 Rosé--nice, a bit overpowered by the chocolate.  We added a few raspberries and some edible gold for Valentine's Day.
