Spoil her on Valentine's

[dontknowitall]

What you cooking for your better half then?

I've been trawling the bbc goodfood site and found ...

Steak and Sticky Red Wine Shallots
Tia Maria and Chocolate Creams

Not done any cooking for ages. Smallish job tomorrow, then shopping then the kitchen!

I made the dinner tonight. I like cooking but i leave the kitchen like a war zone when i'm done.
Fillet steak with mushroom and wine sauce roast tatties and veg for me and a peanut satay stir fry for the lady because she didn't want steak (the dog got hers, best fed dog in the place lol). Got her a bunch of Tesco roses for tomorrow.
It is her turn tomorrow and it better be good. I want some chow mine

M&S do a valentines meal for £20.00. We got that and the wife cooked it!

She's not even bought me a card this year (I've been warned)....lets be honest. Its mainly for people who have been together 5 minutes....or maybe the wife and I just arent romantic!

It all seems like another waste of money to me...I used to spend loads. Flowers, chocolates, presents.

Now I feel guilty!! Better panic buy some roses!

I/we don't do valentines really but a £5 bunch of flowers from the supermarket is always appreciated and brighten the place up. Don't bother with the £20 ones. She'll think you are feeling guilty about something

I have a pact with my beloved. Valentines day should be boycotted. Its an excuse for companies to monopolize on our emotions. Just have to treat her nice for other times in the year. Oh humbug and deep poo if I forget. Still as they say: your always in the **** its just the depth that varies.

 

[tamz]

your always in the **** its just the depth that varies.

Very true

im cooking steak, dont know what with? may go chippy

 

[CMairiD]

I had the V-day dinner last night and did the old man a lovely T-bone steak, jacket potatoes, and roast asparagus. YUM!

 

[dontknowitall]

Roast asparagus?!!!

Blimey - we've not even started planting the veg patch yet! Sounds yummy though! I'm doing steak too, mainly because I can't do much wrong - I don't think!

I've done the pudding but think I'm probably best sticking to my day job. The top of the pudding was meant to be flat and we might need some thin nosed pliers to get to it (used a tumbler when I should have used a wine glass.) You know when you use too much solder? Well, that's what the top of the pudding looks like ...

 

[CMairiD]

Yes, roasted asparagus! 200C for 10-20 mins, depending upon size. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt & pepper. The only way I eat it now.

apparently the pact of anti commercial valentine went dreadfully wrong. I just can't get it.

Thats women for you. All is well until she speaks to her pal who got whatever nice wee daft thing and you are all the ungrateful unthankful useless unappreciative b's or whatever combination of words come into her head.
Thats why i play it safe with the £3 bunch of lillies every other week and the £5 roses today. She put them in the front window so all the neighbours can see what a good man she has
She even liked Steves joke on the other page
