Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day!

I have to admit, I am not a huge fan of Valentine's Day.  To me, it's just a Hallmark holiday that makes single people feel bad.  While I haven't been "single" in 5 1/2 years, I still feel pressure about Valentine's Day.

This year, we didn't make plans.  At the last minute, Scott tried to make dinner reservations, but because of the required social convention of going out to dinner on Valentine's Day, the only time we could eat would be at either 5 or 9, neither of which was interesting to either of us.  So we quickly changed the plans and decided to have dinner at home.  

I made a very (stress very) simple dinner of Margherita Pizza, White Pizza, and Molten Lava Chocolate Cake.  Scott brought an amazing bottle of our favorite wine (Chianti Ruffino).  The pizza was delicious, and the Chocolate Lava Cake didn't have much Lava, but we thoroughly enjoyed our Valentine's Night in!!

Happy Valentine's Day

I'll admit.  The only thing I like about Valentine's Day is the day after - when all the candy goes on sale.  I've never been big on the holiday - it's really just a Hallmark and Hersey's holiday.  My husband bought me a beautiful card and we went out to dinner.  That was enough for me.  We had a couple of Gift Certificates so we went to Legal Seafood in Warwick (I've been wanting to try one of the locations in Boston, but we made reservations late).

It was a fun night.  I ordered the Crab Cake Combo (They have the BEST crab cakes, and it comes with shrimp and scallops) and Scott got the Surf and Turf (Filet Mignon and Lobster).  It was totally worth half of my Weight Watchers Allowance Points.
