Valentine's Day
Valentine's Day is all about showing your significant other how much he/she means to you.
Normally, we would all go out to eat as a family, but we haven't gone to a sit down restaurant since late February 2020. That didn't stop my husband from still doing something special. He picked out a lovely bouquet of roses - my favorite - and made us a wonderful home cooked meal: New York Strip steak, seasoned to perfection and marinated in a mixture of softened butter and home grown Rosemary, cooked on a cast iron skillet; a Caesar salad with Parmesan encrusted pine nuts; fresh asparagus, seasoned with lemon juice, Parmesan cheese, olive oil and Panko break crumbs; and, of course, macaroni and cheese.
He also cleaned the kitchen before AND after the meal, so I didn't have to lift a finger.
We cannot wait to be able to safely enjoy a meal as a family in a sit down restaurant again, but we're making it work.
