I can't find my book anywhere. I was so looking forward to a bit of a reading before work.
Instead I'll take a few minutes to put away the dishes Teri washed so that I could make our Valentine's Day dinner last night. It really isn't fair that she thinks I do that for her. I mean, yeah, I'mt trying to cook things that she likes, but when I examine my own thoughts I can see that it's pretty clearly an affirmation grab.
Still, it was a very nice dinner. A little surf and turf in the form of a jumbo lump crabcake from Whole Foods and a pretty nice Porterhouse from Dot's, though not one of their high-end line of meats. We shared these, as I knew that would be plenty alongside the tortellini-stuffed acorn squash, which was a hit even though I needed to use spinach tortellini because Fresh Thyme (where I was when I thought of the idea) didn't have any cheese tortellini. Followed it up with raspberry-chocolate smoothies, made with homemade chocolate syrup and topped with freshly whipped cream and chocolate shavings. Teri later told me that just a taste of the whipped cream drizzled with chocolate syrup later was to die for.
At any rate, I think she enjoyed dinner as much as I did, and I had the afterglow of knowing I'd managed to make her feel special because of it, too.
