We aren't a fancy people, that's for sure, but tonight Porch pulled out all the stops to create a fabulous evening. Of course, most of the fabulous-ness is centered around the food. Hey, fat kid's gotta eat!!
I'm not much of a Valentine's Day gal; in fact, my strongest feelings about it are more about correcting the people who refer to it as "Valentimes Day." But in the spirit of not showing up empty-handed, I got a card for Porch and made a white chocolate mousse with raspberries for dessert to accompany his "plan."
Cue Porch, arms full. He unloads the contents of his grocery trip onto the counter and I try to help as much as I can... in the end? This is what he produced:
Doesn't suck, I can tell you that much! A delicious dinner of steak and lobster with asparagus. And wine. Lots of wine! We sat at the dining room table talking for about 3 hours with the television off. I liked it. A lot. :)
With the news of an upcoming trip to Italy, Porch surprised me with Rosetta Stone: Italiano as well as a box of chocolates. But let's be serious, he had me at wine. Amo mio marito!
