Orchids and yarn ~ who says Romance is dead!

avatar

Last week I missed the boat with my perfect holiday post!

No such drama this week.

I am of course talking about the Ecency Discord Weekly Posting Topic: VALENTINE'S DAY

I have postponed Talk Time with Tengo this week because tomorrow is Valentine's Day and then we are away for a wee break up to bonnie Dundee!

- Do you celebrate Valentine's Day?

Oh fluff yes we do!
Secret .... Now it is always at home...



- Do you have something planned?

Mrs T is working so I shall be cooking and have dinner ready for when she comes home. No change in routine there then!
Cinderfella does love the kitchen🤣

Speaking of the kitchen, this is what we shall be having ...

Starter : Brie wedges in breadcrumbs with a Cranbery and Port Dip




I do love France and yes I still think Paris is the most romantic city and have eaten a load of Brie in pairs over the years. So some sap for yato start!

Main : Duck Breast and Orange Salad




Usually I will cook a steak as we do love red meat. I also love a blue steak and in this country that is hard to find.
As we are away for a few days later in the week I thought I would try something else.

I make a mean duck salad with spinach walnuts and orange slices.

Seriously tasty if I say so myself!

Dessert : Chocolate & Sea Salted Caramel Cheesecake




A wee bit of indulgence here with some cheesecake chocolate and sea salted caramel style!

Mrs T is not a chocolate fan as @dreemsteem can attest, and I have today thank you for hand carrying her Zingers all the way from the good old US of A!

- Are things prepared in advance or are things done at the last minute?

This changes, before when I was working away, then it would be a slap up meal the weekend after Valentine's Day in whatever city we were living in.

- What was your best Valentine's Day?

Too hard to judge, have spent four in Paris they are always special!

- What food and drinks do you recommend for Valentine's Day?

I can't really recommend what to eat or drink as everyone has varied tastes and dietary requirements etc etc!

Just have a fluffing good time is all I would say.

One last thing, I don't do flowers, I always do a plant. It lasts not just for a day or two but for a long time! Mrs T does not do Chocolate hence the yarn, so easy to please!




Can you recognise the one I bought?

If you do celebrate St Valentine's Day then celebrate it with ...



... LOVE

Yes we got some tea towels when we were shopping!

The word says it all!



Thank you for the gif @irisworld

Thanks for visiting and enjoy the rest of your day!

That sounds like a good Valentine's Day. Are you sure that isn't Matilda's trolley though? I thought she liked a bit of knitting. !LOL

Mira mira pues, Super Super Ed has a romantic streak ;)

Seriously Mrs. T doesn't like chocolates? Oh get it now, that's why you enjoy so much torturing me with all those chocolates you usually eat haha.

I didn't know you were so romantic, Super Ed, and celebrated Valentine's Day. Last year you tricked us with a love post to Rangers, haha I haven't forgotten.😂

I am one of those who think that it doesn't take a day that has become a bit of commercial paraphernalia to celebrate love.
Love is something that doesn't need a day to celebrate, as it should be celebrated every day.

And as any day is good to say the people we love we do.
I love you, my dear friend Super Ed
Happy Valentine's! 💙
Enjoy the meal and the getaway 😘🌀

You have just confirmed what I have long suspected: you're a big old softie! I love it.

As for us, The Husband's not much of a romantic, and when he tries, lets just say that he gets points for trying 😉

I used to make a fuss about it but TBH covid stress killed a lot. Perhaps we'll just head to the local. Or not. And I'll make tonight's pasta extra special!

My wife and I don't do much for each other for Valentine's day. Honestly, there aren't many holidays we celebrate with each other alone. We do the big one's with our families, but that is about it. One of these days I will have to surprise her and do something for Valentine's day. She definitely deserves it.
