Valentine’s Day 2007: A team effort

Posted in food, personal at 11:16 pm by wingerz

I’ll be the first to admit this year that I didn’t do a great job of celebrating Jen’s birthday. She was out of town on the actual day and the following week was brutally busy for both of us. Valentine’s Day offered redemption, and, with the help of some great friends, I redeemed myself.

It started a few weekends ago in Farmington, CT. Lee’s Mom treated Lee, Lynn, and me to a wonderful lunch and an afternoon of pottery painting. I decided to make something for Jen since we already have a lot of hand-painted serving dishes, trivets, and more from Jen’s bridal shower. We brought the pottery back to Boston, where Lee and Lynn took it to get fired.

Yesterday at work Cathleen gave me some home-made fudge. Since I didn’t have any dessert planned out, I gladly accepted it.

I’m glad we didn’t go out tonight; it was quite miserable outside. We enjoyed a wonderful dinner. I made bacon salad, high roast chicken with potatoes, and popovers (recipes and pictures to follow in the next few weeks). I served some chocolate-covered strawberries in my plate to go along with the fudge.

From now on, Jen will be eating all of her meals out of the plate.
