Amen :notworthy:

I'm making Chinese with probably eggroll and crab ragoons on the side so nothing too fancy. I don't follow a recipe, I just throw some meat, peppers, onions, and whatever in with some kind of sauce but its usually very tasty.

Thats a great idea! Buying things quick is easy. Putting effort into the moment is what its all about.

We're going to Khan's Mongolian BBQ, then we'll go home, maybe open a bottle of wine and watch Lost, and have a nice romantic evening...with her sister :biggrin: :wink:

OK, just joking about that sister part, but she will be there because she's babysitting

I compare flowers on Valentines day to the following for a guy.


Paying $6 for a beer at a game
Yes, one block away I could buy a beer for $2 but it's just not the same.

Every Holiday should be on a Friday, so it does not screw up the work week.

We have a White Castle a half mile from our house, and my wife has totally wanted to do the Valentine's Dinner there. She's cool.

It is hugely popular and you need reservations!

I got my tax return back today... that is a good v-day present! lol
