february 14th<\/p>\n
yesterday was kissy pooh day.\u00a0 it’s always great when valentine’s day is on a saturday.\u00a0 we got to sleep in, and i woke up to a wonderful breakfast in bed!\u00a0 husband made eggs, sausage, and had heart shaped krispy kreme donuts!\u00a0 delish!\u00a0 after breakfast we had present time on the “love stage”.\u00a0 husband opened a satchel full of valentine’s day treats including his favorite gummy bears!\u00a0 when it was my turn, husband handed me a giant box, and i opened it to reveal guitar hero 3!\u00a0 we ran up stairs to attempt to rock out!\u00a0 we quickly learned that husband has a second career possibility as a rock star!\u00a0 during the rock tour intermission we heard a doorbell ring, and amelia alerted us to the fact that a flower delivery had arrived! after our rock tour we watched “fireproof”, a perfect valentine’s day movie – and now husband’s favorite movie of all time.\u00a0<\/p>\n
for dinner we headed to “angus barn”.\u00a0 the place was packed.\u00a0 luckily husband made our reservations last year, so we were quickly seated at a quaint little table for two.\u00a0 once seated the waitress brings out a tasty little sampler of cheese spreads, homemade crackers, olives, peppers, pickles, and celery.\u00a0 after we got acquaintedwith the colossal menu, we decided on raw oysters for an appetizer, and asked for the sommelier’s recommendation for a berriful pinot noir.\u00a0 the waitress returned and informed us of his selection, and we chose to go with his decision.\u00a0 moments later she returned “regretfully” informing us that the $40 bottle of wine he recommended to us was no longer available, and they would be substituting an $80 bottle in it’s place, for the same price – what a shame!\u00a0 the replacement wine, “adelsheim” pinot noir, was perfect with our filet dinners.\u00a0 everything was perfectly cooked, and our steaks were topped with gorgonzola and balsamic reduction!\u00a0 again – delish!\u00a0 after our meals we were tempted by an enormous dessert tray.\u00a0 the selections included three types of cheesecakes, pecan pie, sundaes, chocolate chess pie, and cobblers.\u00a0 will decided on chocolate chess pie, a guest favorite – and i talked the waitress into putting chocolate sauce on top of fruit cheesecake!\u00a0 i also selected a glass of arboleda carmenere.\u00a0 this wine is from chile, and was out of this world!\u00a0 (The lost grape of Bordeaux, Carmen\u00e9re has made a comeback in Chile. Deep violet color, blackberries and cherries along with vanilla and cacao.)\u00a0 if you have not been to the angus barn, you really should check it out!<\/p>\n
we had a great weekend together, and are sad it’s almost over.<\/p>\n
much love!<\/p>\n\n\t\t
