Valentine’s Day Supper

Monday, February 15th, 2010

Dave made me a fantastic supper today and I know he’s planning to post about it on his blog later but I wanted to show off my favorite parts:)

Course #1: A Flower Salad

Cute right? The salad is in a half a red pepper with the petals made from slices of tomato. The stem is celery and the leaves are spinach.  

Dessert: Raspberry parfait

Very yummy – the picture doesn’t do it justice. It was whip cream, raspberry preserves and ladyfingers in layers.

So good – just to small. I could have eaten a dozen. Shouldn’t – but coulda lol.

Valentines – The Couples Survey

BASICS

Who is your man? Dave
How long have you been together? Next month will be 13 years from our first kiss
Dating/Engaged/Married? Married – 10 1/2 years
How old is your man? Lol OLD – VERY OLD. Almost 30 in fact.

YOU OR YOUR MAN?

He eats more food, I eat more desserts
No idea – probably me
I plead the fifth….
Can I use the fifth twice? We’re not singers lol
Dave by 9 months.  Almost exactly.  Yeah – I know – weird.
mmmmmm – lol. Me- but he disagrees.
DIFFERENT WAYS

We’re pretty even -  I get mad fast and then get over it, he takes a long time to get mad but he’s nasty when he finally does.
That’s what we had kids for lol.
Diddo on the kids.
Me
His
Mine
Depends. He’s better with programming and technical stuff. I’m better with websites and internet stuff.
Dave – when it gets mowed
Me – with Dave’s money lol
Dave – unless you have a death wish in which case I’ll give it a try.
Dave right now as I am not working at the moment
Dave – though it’s an argument sometimes.  And when I win, I usually regret it cause he’s an awful passanger.
Dave
Me lol – but he’s pretty close
Well I’d have to be wrong for that to even have a valid answer and that’s never happened.
Pretty even right now I think.
When we had one the kids named it.
It wasn’t really a planned thing – it just kind of happened. I don’t think you could really say anyone started it first.
He asked me out
Me
Dave – even with my 5″ heels
ummmm……  lol
Definitely me (I have 7, he has 2)

Dave’s Kitchen Revolution

Friday, February 5th, 2010

In case you haven’t already seen it – Dave has taken up blogging. Yep, weird – I know.  Over the holidays he got an idea to start an ingredient challenge. Basically, people suggest 3 random ingredients and he has to create a meal using those ingredients. He posts the recipes on his blog along with feedback on how they turned out.

We’ve had some amazing meals so far – and some not so amazing (Liver, black licorice and blue cheese? Really?) And – I haven’t cooked in weeks (without any complaints from him at all). I can eat liver once and a while if I need to lol.

Anyway – check it out – Dave’s Kitchen Revolution.

Yep:)
