Neither one of us like waiting with crowds at restaurants. Going out to the movies isn't exactly "quality" time to us, since you can't talk to each other. Therefore, every Valentine's we stay home and cook an elaborate dinner, or, more elaborate than we usually make. We go all out on grilling steaks and veggies, baked potatoes, etc... and dessert. Then, we watch a movie or play a card game together. Later, we make our own chocolate dipped fruit, and let me tell you, it is GOOD!
Last year, we experimented with different kinds of fruit because the stores were already sold out of strawberries (we may have waited til the last minute.... like, the DAY of). Anyways, we did pineapple, bananas, strawberries if we can get them, and oranges. It was delicious (and cheap!).
This year, it has been particularly cold, as you may have experienced. Here in Bryan, we got SNOWED on! Not once, but TWICE. So, we've been making great use of our fireplace! It is probably my favorite thing in our house. We have used it almost every night, and therefore, are out of firewood. We enjoyed a big fire on Valentine's night.
I'll leave you with some pictures. I hope you all had a great Valentine's Day! Do you have any traditions for the day of love??
