If you are planning to celebrate Valentine's Day, do you have any specific dinner plans, whether eating in or out?
At this point I am not sure what hubby and I are doing. I keep hinting for him to pick up some nice filets or lobster or something extravagant to eat at home. Not sure if he is up for cooking for me though.
Well, since there are 7,000+ miles between us, there won't be any edible temptations on Valentine's Day. I *am* thinking about making a nice dinner for my in-laws, though, since they're being so nice to let us stay with them. I should search around the recipes and come up with something fun!
Well, hmmm...does a sack of oysters count as romantic????
Actually my oldest son's 24th birthday is Wednesday, so he decided he wanted a sack of oysters for his birthday dinner and can't come over till Thursday. I got him a new oyster knife and anvil not too long ago and he wants to play with it. A sack of oysters and strawberry shortcake...what a combo, but if that's what he wants, that's what he gets!

Cat, under the right conditions, I think a sack of oysters could be very romantic. Aren't they rumored to be aphrodisiacs?
For us, with DH away, not much will be happening here. I got some goodies for the kids. Maybe I'll treat myself to a glass of wine or some chocolate. We'll see how weigh-in goes on Thursday.
But even when he's here, we don't get too worked up over Valentine's Day.
Cat oysters! can I come? I just love them. We did them on a regular basis before my dad got sick, I grew up next to the fire barrel with my dad cooking them I use to eat them only raw but now they have to be a lil cooked
Schmoodle yes thats what they say abot oyster
As for me & dh we have reservations at the Chart House and I will get my usual fish & asparugus and of course the chocolate lava cake for desert
We are not doing anything. I have my dance class on thursday night. I don't think that they have cancled it. My DH is not at all into Vday, or romantic either on any occassion. lol.
We usually stay home and I make a special little dinner. This year I'm making a steak for Jake and salmon for me, with baked sweet potatoes and a salad. Dessert? Just use your imagination!
DH is out of town this week - which may be good, as I am on Phase 1 and today is his birthday and Thurs is V-day. If he were home, there would certainly be a planned cheat involved - certainly wine, and possibly a small dessert!
So I will be alone - reading, and staying on plan!
Not sure. We SAY we're going out for glass of wine and appetizer somewhere. But usually we stay home with him cooking. i got him a neat card and a bottle of merlot.
