I am not one of those people that just loves Valentines Day or has major expectations for it. I think it is partially because my parents celebrated it really low key. As children, my parents had a present for each of us. Meanwhile, they would not really celebrate it other than an occasional casual meal with just the two of them.
It might also be due to a traumatic event regarding valentines cards and stealing one of my sister’s and her retaliation. (J/k since I know you read this…sorta)
This year, the boyfriend and I have plans to celebrate in a way I find ideal. We spend the day together. We hope to go on a walk with our dog and visit our neighbors (aka The Horses). That will be followed up with a quiet dinner at home.
Our menu is not fully set, but we are thinking steak, salad, sweet potatoes, maybe asparagus and a fun dessert. One option that is winning out for dessert is chocolate lava cakes. I love chocolate and a chance to make something I have not done yet.
We might end the night curled up watching a movie at home. That is an ideal way to celebrate the holiday in our book.
Any suggestions on a movie to either rent or stream from Amazon or Netflix?
