I know the whole Valentine's Day thing is blown way out of proportion and it can get a little overrated. Around this time each year, florists will over-stock those red buds in various stem lengths and make a killing, guys will get down on one knee, the newspapers will highlight the most over-blown and fanciest idea for a proposal, all that 999 roses and pretty much those lovebirds will have a weird smile all day.
Well, I’m not saying that it is not cool to have all that swimming in your head but it’s just too cliché and commercialised. Despite all that, I still love the idea of celebrating one's love for another, as cheesy as it sounds. I, however, prefer it quiet and more low key.
The plan was to cook up a really nice meal as a treat in the comfort of our own home. The results below.
I'm not sure why the wine was so bubbly.
Shrimp Cocktail for starters
The Main: Salmon steak served with pasta with light pesto sauce, buttered and spiced mushrooms and oven-baked potatoes.
If you notice, there is no dessert simply because we just barely made it through everything. It was a satisfying meal.
Happy Valentine's Day!
