Valentine meals

[Flying Orca]

OK, anyone have a special meal with their sweetie? I made SWMBO a bit of a South Asian feast: mushroom & cabbage Jalfrezi curry with coconut milk; spinach & tomato Balti curry; cucumber, cilantro, & lime raita; basmati rice; and chapatis. Special hazelnut chocolates for dessert. Lots left over for lunches, too! :D

Any other good meals out there last night?

[Wild Dingo]

Nope she didnt do anythin special at all :( just the usual :rolleyes:

Now I wonder why it is that we men are expected to make our "sweeties" some special meal for valentines? or take THEM out somewhere special? mmm I mean are we men not their valentines as well? So why dont the damned sheilas knock up a ripsnorter bobbydazzler whacketty dak bit of tucker for us? or take us out to a whang dang doodle hotshot restaurant for a flash bit of tucker? OR EVEN GIVE US FLAMIN RED ROSES??

HUH??? I mean comeon!! its always them that gets the damned flowers and chockies its always them that get the fancy meals an special gifts jewelery an such nonscence I mean WHAT ABOUT US BLOKES EH??

Sheilas... I reckoned they devised this valentines day thing just so they can have yet another reason to lord it over us fellas to get us fawnin an fallin over ourselves to show em how much we love them... sheilas bunch of friggin wombats the lot of em! :rolleyes:

Nothing special for us newly weds. Just a couple broiled lobster tails, twice baked potatoes, and sautéed broccoli, and a pitcher of Margaritas :D




Dingo asks WHAT ABOUT US BLOKES EH??


You, my dear friend, have the honour of being with such a wonderful sheila! That should be enough....;)

[Flying Orca]

...but my sweetie isn't like that at all. She actually hates Valentine's day and anything else commercial like that. I can't make too big a deal of it, and she certainly doesn't expect much. Last year I didn't do anything, IIRC, and neither did she.

But this year I've been stooopid busy - house-sitting out of town, couple rehearsals a week with the band, boat-building - and haven't been able to spend much time with her, so we were planning to have dinner together for the first time in days. Figured I'd cook something nice, she always likes that.

So, more of just a nice meal than a Valentine thing, but it fit the bill. ;)

Me and my sweety always try to eat greens and pork chops on valentines cause its supposed to be good for your love life. So far its working pretty good.

My sweetie and I went out to a Mexican place we've been going to for (sweet flamin' Jesus! :eek: ) 30 years.

[LisaS]

I made my guys pork chops, mashed potatoes, gravy, and green beans for dinner with a nice bottle of wine. I gave him a pewter guardian bell for his bike, and a plaque of mushy sayings along with a mushy card. I got a funny card and a music CD.

Despite the fact that my dinner companion barks and wags his tail, it was a good Valentine's day. :D

Ain't nothin' wrong with the KD, Joe! (Do you guys even call it that? Some distant memory tells me it's not known as Kraft Dinner in the Excited States...)

Throw a can of corned beef in there and it's fine-a-licious. Some would say peas and tuna, but they're heretics.

And BTW, best wishes for a more... fine-a-licious is as good a word as any... Feb. 14th next year. I've been where you are and it's no fun, but it gets better. ;)

[StevenBauer]

I made Mary lamb chops and baked potato, her favorite. Salad, too. :)
