Well, to make a long story short, I had a good Valentine's Day. There were still fancy chocolates, which those of you have stuck with me for a few years will know I appreciate. In addition, however, there was a delightful meal with my boyfriend. I cooked.
I do not make a habit of cooking. Most of you know this. It's not that I can't do it; it's just that it's time consuming and messy, and I hate touching raw meat. (Only people who have also butchered animals may feel free at this point to call me a sissy.) I also don't usually feel like it's much of a pay off because I am just as content to eat a turkey sandwhich as I am to eat a turkey pot pie.
However, for Valentine's Day, I ponied up and cooked. The boyfriend helped, and it went really well. We made chicken parmesean (probably spelled wrong), and I added eggplant parmesean (also probably spelled wrong) on a hunch that it was probably not too different in anything but the fry time. And I was right.
I was impressed that I did not blow up the oven. He was impressed that the eggplant part turned out. There were leftovers for future meals. On the whole, it was very successul.
And he supplied the fancy chocolates this year, so you gotta love that. The only thing better than fancy chocolates is free fancy chocolates. ;) (And he picked a good box, too, which is also highly important.)
Anybody else do anthing fun for V-Day?

Posted by: Honey Bun at February 17, 2007 11:22 PMWell, i had to work about 12 hours which was less than exciting. After work, however, my boyfriend cooked for me & I got to snuggle with him while watching a movie.
I'd say any day that includes snuggling (especially V-Day) is a good day! :)
I concur that A) It was my best Valentines Day ever, too (especially candlelit supper--so fun), and B) Snuggling does make every day a little better, particularly V-Day.

He did buy me a dozen roses and Reisen though, and even though Reisen isn't really chocolates, it's close enough for me!!

Posted by: dr gonzo at February 20, 2007 07:35 PMI went to a party (progressive dinner) with friends, and went into labor (a fact which, proudly, I managed to hide from said friends.)
As a result of these valentines day events (more the labor than the progressive dinner), I now have time on my hands (go maternity leave!) so I can surf the web and catch up on friends from days gone by.
Good to see you seem to be having a grand old time.
