Valentine's Day

This year for Valentine's Day, I took the cheap creative route and made a date night in for Paul. Let me preface this by saying I am not trying to be like...hey look at my fancy food that I made...I am so cool. I occasionally post a meal I make on facebook.  Not to be annoying which I am sure some people find annoying, but because I enjoy getting ideas for food for the internet and I love looking at pictures of food...AKA food porn.  I obviously don't post about the other 5 nights a week where we eat leftovers or lackluster food like sloppy joes!  That would just be weird! Hey everyone, I didn't cook for the 3rd night in a row and we are eating turkey sandwiches!  Nice.  Anyway, thought I would post about our evening simply just to share some ideas because I am always stealing everyone elses!

I started by giving him an itinerary the night before, it was in cursive, on thick cream paper wrapped in a red bow.

Itinerary for Paul Starstrom February 15th, 2012

Please make a note of the date. This will take place Wednesday due to a conflict with Valentine’s day and the hot Masseuse’s work schedule.



• 6:00 pm: Appetizers (Sea scallops wrapped in bacon) and wine, Live entertainment provided by D-roo And Funky E.

• 6:45 pm: Dinner is a Prixy Fixie (inside joke). You will be dining on Spinach Salad with blue cheese, pine nuts and tomatoes, Filet Mignon with sauteed mushrooms, butternut squash ravioli, fresh baked bread and Godiva Dark Chocolate Brownies.

• 7:30 pm: The entertainment is only booked until this time, so we will have to put the entertainment to bed at half past 7.

• 7:45 pm: Head to toe massage paired with red wine, relaxing aromatherapy from your smoking hot (maybe if I call myself hot enought, he will believe it and not notice the cellulite?) masseuse.

Not really appealing to the eye, but appealing to my tongue!  I went the non-healthy route. It's VALENTINE's day people!



The four legged Maitre D. That's a bow tie on her neck!  Yes, I am holding steak above her head to get her to look.




The entertainment, whom I paid in popsicles.
