luckily my wife didn't get me anything either.
i made the kids heart shaped pancakes with a strawberry maple syrup, so the pancake hearts would be red. Of course the kids hated the syrup. I should have known. Anything that is different is immediately hated. So I yelled at them and they left the table without pancakes and whining about how dad is mean.

Wow, that's a lot of spending. You are telling me But we don't do it often ...
Dinner tonight came to $125 (tip included). All together we spent combined $650 this weekend It's cute how you post that as if we won't remember all the times you've posted about doing it often. Spending like this I mean, get your mind out of the gutter!

I wanted to make pasta fagioli (sp?) soup like the Olive Garden does. I have the recipe. DH suggested he just go pick some up. I knew something was up when I got put on hold for 10 minutes while the to-go person on the phone tried to find out if they had enough to sell me some! DH said the place was packed. Something that easy, I'd just make it myself. According to the copycat recipe, it takes about 30 minutes? It would take me longer than that to drive to an Olive Garden and pick it up. I agree, but you have to have everything ready such as the slivered carrots, etc. Plus it takes about 30 minutes after you do ALL the prep from browning the meat, chopping all the veggies, etc. DH was being nice.

DH gave me a pot of half bloomed tulips. I prefer that because then they'll last longer. He also got me a big hear-shaped Reese's Peanut Butter (not) Cup. He got the girls chocolate and mini-roses in ladybug containers.

I had to work, but I was right that my sweetie wouldn't pay any attention to me saying I was ok with not doing anything for Valentine's Day. I didn't even really expect to see him because it was his weekend with his children. He insisted we go to dinner (I didn't protest much because I'm greedy and I was hungry when I got off work lol). He gave me a lovely card with the assurance that he meant every word and a teddy bear to keep me company when I'm home alone.

Dang it. DH spent $33.46, and I had only budgeted $25. I'll have to move that out of somewhere...probably groceries. Reese's counts as groceries, right?

I hurt my back in bed once. It was pretty romantic for a while. And afterward too, as I recall. I'm not sure what your problem is.

This is why you make caprese first. caprese, pasta e fagioli, some dessert, and some wine make for a nice meal.
