Valentine's Day 2025

V-Day Supper

We shared a Rib Eye Steak (4 ounces each, which is the recommended amount), some grilled fresh Asparagus, Frittes and a Seafood Cocktail-Mussels for DH & not pictured, Shrimp for Moi.
One of our favorite meals ... DH asked me, "what would this cost at a restaurant?"
Well, my restaurant serves smaller portions, so, on Valentine's Day ... $55 not including beverages or dessert, tax or tip (at least 15% thank you very much) and by the way, sir, are you using a major credit card? That'll be an additional 4% fee please, thank you.

We have Cake for dessert later ...

Do you have a VD tree?

Hubby bought be a box of soft tissues for my runny nose. That's as about as romantic as it gets here, plus a card or two.

I'm not sure that's the best abbreviation...

It was intentional! And following suit (see below).

No VD cards for us, but I did send MrsT this meme (cuz I’m hep to what the cool kids do):

We do, but I’ve been lazy about switching out the lights. St. Pat’s Day right around the corner, so maybe I’ll get it in gear before then.

Great photo!

I didn't do anything for Valentines, because my communist (light version but anyway) husband thinks that is peak capitalism and would be offended.

So I just bought myself chocolates and said nothing, because he's pretty romantic otherwise

You gotta know how to work that around to your advantage:

“You know…I get that it’s a capitalist thing, but you know what would really show them? Buy all that chocolate, but then just eat it like normal. ‘Is that for Valentine’s Day? No! We’re just eating it!’ Sort of like kids going around for Halloween candy really subverts the whole demon and Satan thing. You with me?! Yeah! Now let’s GO GET THAT CHOCOLATE!!!”

Yeah I prefer solid chocolate to filled ones

I'm not prejudiced. I have met very few chocolates that I didn't like!

Well I’m sort of with him on Valentines Day.
But on Thursday the two receptionists at the chiropractors (who do celebrate Valentine’s Day) were embarrassed as I laughed and scoffed at them asking what I was doing for it
I did a quick rescue with what I use for other overblown holiday events -
“Regardless of how commercialised it’s become there’s nothing wrong with remembering once a year to say I love you, rather than the usual of have you remembered to take the bins out?”
They laughed a lot and all was well.

Then I went home and quite late into the day said “Happy Valentines Day, I love you”
Mr SSOAP said “Aaw I love you too, shall we have a Valentines kiss?”
I replied “God no, as mother always said a handshakes as good as a hug”

You gotta a love a bit of Frasier
