I've decided-I'm going with a color theme-red. Hubby usually wants to go out, but this year's budget is a lot skimpier due to losing my day job. So even if we somehow get a 2for1 coupon, I have a feeling it won't be accepted on a weekend with the holiday and all!
Here's my menu:
New York strip steak (red meat and he'll appreciate it since he loves the stuff and I don't care if I never bite into anything made from a cow)-I'll marinate it in red wine, garlic and olive oil and grill it
Roma tomatoes with buffalo mozzarella and basil, drizzled with a balsamic vinaigrette (the tomatoes and dressing here)
Wild and brown rice pilaf made with roasted red peppers.
Dessert-hubby loves truffles and if I had had any sense of timing this week I would have gone to chocolatier's website and ordered some, but I never quite made it. Drat-cuz her goodies are truly to die for. Maybe for our anniversary in April! Remind me.
Anyway-dessert will be dark chocolate dipped strawberries or raspberries and strawberries drizzled with dark chocolate. This will depend on what is looking best at the produce market come Thursday.
When making a theme night-don't forget to include the table! I'll use red tablecloth, red roses and get down our china. Plus, I think I'll ask our son to take his fiancée out and wear my "never actually worn red negligee".
No sense being totally thrifty!
That sounds lovely! Unfortunately we are obligated to help out our best friends on their new house this weekend....so I’m more than 100% sure we are going to be too sore and too tired to do much celebrating 
.
I was hoping we could have a nice romantic celebration at home but it’s going to have to wait until next year.......
Oh Carine, that sounds so much better than anything you could do outside the home. I hope you have a wonderful Valentines Day.
Let’s hope it will have the desired effect! I do hope everyone here at fab40 will have a wonderful V-day!
How about showing your love by going to the local Food Bank or Soup Line together and helping sort and serve the food to those who need it?
There are so many out there this year who won’t even have the opportunity to celebrate with a meal at all let alone a special meal.
Good Morning!
I like your menu choices and think I will copy it..... other than make it for 3. My hubby, daughter and me..... I sure hope she gets a job soon...
I like the idea of going to the food bank and sharing this kind of love!
As for me Vikki-well, yesterday I seemed to have “popped” a rib (broken I fear) and I’m so blitzed out on pain meds, I’m not sure my original plan will be possible.
Oh NO! I’m so sorry to hear that..... maybe I will do the food bank in honor of you....I think that’s exactly what I will do
I hope you feel better soon....
thank you Vikki-I’m sure this will do and bring so much love that it will be long remembered.
Sounds delicious and exciting. I just made reservations for hubby and I for Saturday night. Overnight stay, dinner for two, champagne and strawberries delivered to our room and breakfast the next morning. It’s a combo deal....Valentines day and hubby’s birthday the 17th!!

I’m so sorry to hear about your rib. Get better soon! I hear champagne takes the pain away 
trudy-it probably does, but w/ all my RA meds, I’m not allowed a single drop.
there is a good non-alcoholic one. But to add to this rather strange time-hubby came down w/ the worst cold he’s had in probably 3 years.
I see a postponement happening.
