A nice Valentine Dinner :)This year was our first Valentine with both our sons. Even though it's Valentine's Day everyday in our home, we love to use that special day as an excuse to dress up and dine in a fine restaurant, and splurge into some extravagant new flavors we wouldn't normally eat everyday. This year, with a toddler and a baby, it was harder to leave the house, find a sitter, not worry, and sprint back home to make sure everyone was ok.
My sweet hubby came home with a bouquet of twenty red roses. He chose that number of flowers because I was twenty years old when we met. He then offered to cook us a nice dinner and had it all planned ahead of time. Now, THAT was special because he normally wouldn't consider himself as a cook. The dinner turned out to be FABULOUS! I was blown away and so did all my taste buds. It was a scrumptious rack of lamb marinated with thyme, mint, rosemary, sea salt, black pepper, plenty of garlic and extra virgin olive oil. He served it with a side of Potato Purée au Gratin and some Butter and Garlic Dijon Green Beans. I was so proud of him that he pulled off such a nice dish!
I must say, it was a great Valentine evening and the best gift I could get: I got a break from the kitchen, both kids were in bed early, and so were we. For the tired and sleepy mom that I am these days, I couldn't have wished for a better outcome. Thank you my love for all these special attentions. I am so grateful that he still puts so much energy into taking care of me, even after over a decade already. We celebrate our love everyday, but on Valentine's Day, it is our time to celebrate all the little attentions we have for each other and emphasize on them on that special day.
On that note, Happy Valentine's Week and I hope that everyone had a special someone they got to take care of, and vice versa. :)
