ROMANTIC IN FRONT OF THE TV - WE'RE BOTH HAPPY!

By
Real Estate Agent with Sotheby's International Realty Canada - Brokerage

We both agreed to never ever ever go to a restaurant again on Valentine's Day -  we were always disappointed in the meal, the service, the ambiance and regretted leaving our own home.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Instead, we have a gorgeous meal of our favourite foods:  fresh oysters, lobster bisque, crab stuffed mushrooms and individual Beef Wellingtons . . .

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

of course followed by something chocolate for my husband.

 

 

 

The nicest of wines and champagne and liquours.

 

 

 

 

The table is set, we're finishing preparing the meal together . . .

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And to keep it cozy, we're eating in the living room, in front of the fire (and in front of the tv too!  We love watching British comedy or possibly PS- I love you )

 

 

 

                 Goodnight!

I agree. Our best Valentine meals have always been at home! Have a great evening!

Susan, the restaurants on Valentine's day are over priced and not worth the effort. Sounds like a grand meal you have planned!

Susan we are staying home as well.  I too do not like going out on a holiday such as this.  So much more fun at home and I like your table settings.  Pretty fun if I may say so.

Susan - Your evening sounds very romantic - much better than the hustle and bustle of a restaurant at Valentine's.  The menu sounds delicious and the table scape looks beautiful, with all those pretty roses.  Have a wonderful night!

Susan, Agreed, the restaurants were crowded tonight!  I'm on a business trip to Buffalo (shhh....don't tell anyone) and the places were packed tonight when myself and a couple of business associates needed some dinner :)   Bill

Hi Susan,  some times the best meals are made at home.  I can do a great job in the kitchen with lots of past experience.

Hi Susan - If you had asked me, I would have recommended the EEE.  I have read reviews on the internet about it and it is conveniently located in your area. ;)  (I'm not sure if it was open since the chef may have been preoccupied.)

Soooz! What a lovely sounding evening! I hope it was as good as it looked! We did the same thing, although the food wasn't quite as nice (Swiss Chalet because I worked until 9pm), but we got to spend some time together, which won't be happening for a few days since I have 2 houses to get ready for open houses Saturday, so it was a nice 'calm before the storm'!

Sounds like a very nice evening Susan.  Much more fun than going out and fighting the crowds.  :)

We went to the movies.  Afterward we went to Denny's.  Not for romance but because we were hungry.

It looks many great minds think alike!   We don't go out for New Years Eve for the same reason.

On a different note, I posted this blog post on a PC and the photos were right side up but in looking at it today on my iPad, they appear upside down.  Anyone know why this would happen?

Funny enough, my husband and I went out last night and commentated on how poor the service was. Mind you, it is our "usual place" to hang out with our "usual bartender".

 We were sadden by the simple thought that we would have been better off at home with my own cooking and our fireplace...and better wine. Lesson learned! Obviously you did! ; )
