The promise of more winter weather on Sunday the 14th, led Hubby and me to go shopping Friday evening after he got off work to prepare for our Valentine's celebration at home.
Hubby and I had some ideas of what would be on the menu...so we headed to the fresh meat/seafood counter at our local store.Salad splashed with Raspberry Vinaigrette
New York Strip Steak
Scallops (a la famous Boston Restaurant recipe)
Mashed Potatoes with bacon and cheddar
Mississippi Mud Pie Cheesecake
Hubby took over as Chef and everything was grilled, baked, and microwaved in time to catch the start of the Daytona 500. Go Bass Pro Shops Jamie McMurray !
Viewing the movie "Amelia" helped to fill in time while we waited for the Daytona 500 track repair to cure and get the cars back onto the track.
Ah yes...I can't forget to share what Hubby brought me this Happy Valentines Day. Recently, we acquired the Wii gaming system so we are starting to add accessories. Hubby and I took turns at being rookie game hunters. It is going to be interesting on how to get the response of the gun to mirror the response of the user better. Yes, probably needs some tweaking of the components. Sure is going to be fun working out the bugs.
OH! I can't forget the basket of sweet treats. Thanks to Hubby I have been supplied with one of my favorite candies. I like cinnamon....HOT cinnamon. This little conveyor of sweet treats is sitting in a basketful of "Atomic Fireballs", not sure how long it will take me to munch my way through, but it should be well into the next year.
The snow stopping and the sun shining for a time made for a pleasant end
to the day.
Hope you all got a chance to celebrate with your special
person....;)

Sounds like each of you had a wonderful and loving day together. That is what it is all about. Love and Peace in these trying times. Grandma and me tried the Wii thing out with our grandchildren. Seems like it can be loads of fun.
Mel - It was a nice day...
Yes, since we have decided to quit our subscription to Directv we thought the Wii would be a good substitute for the grandkids when they visit. ;)
Sounds like you two had a great time. And what a great idea to plan ahead, so that the winter weather didn't give you fits.
And the 500 was an interesting race - that is for sure.
Simply Outdoors - It was a fun day. I think I am going to like my new Cabela's game. Statistically in the last 6 years we have had bad weather for Valentines...GIves us a clue we need alternate plans - "just in case". ;)
