We had our valentines meal at the weekend. Tonight he's getting roast chicken with pesto on the side, parmigiana melanzane (baked in a heart shape dosh) and a green salad. A slight incoherent meal but he'll be happy!
Barmaid, find the OH's bank card and order a very expensive takeaway for yourself this evening, maybe one that delivers wine too....
Why has Valentines Day become so special. From what I remember years ago it was just a day when people sent unsigned cards to those they hankered after. Nobody sent cards or bothered with people they were already with.
There were all these blokes in Morrisons yesterday buying these ridiculous bouquets or gaudy flowers at exhorbitant prices for their partners. Probably out of a sense of duty. I don't find that in the least romantic. I don't find valentines day in the least romantic. Surely romance should be more impulsive and unpredictable.
We are having a special Valentine meal at home tonight though this year I'm giving the oysters a miss. Had a dozen last year thinking they were aphrodisiacs.......all but three were duds. .
As far as I'm concerned I'll happily make a little extra effort in the kitchen if I think there is a chance of him visiting the Rigby and Peller website :-)
