We decided to treat ourselves for Valentine's day with a special meal. Dh wanted to make my favourite, which is Chicken Kiev.
But I suggested we buy it rather than have him cooking. So our grocery order included, Prawn Cocktails, Chicken Kievs and a heart shaped Chocolate Brownies. We're not very adventurous with food and love the tried and tested!!
The Prawn Cocktail was delicious, I had triangles of brown bread and butter. We had planned Baked potato and green salad with the Kiev.. But we were so surprised because Dh hadn't looked at the Kiev contents, as it's not something we would usually buy. It wasn't Butter, Garlic and Herbs, but Ham and cheese. We were both so disappointed , as it was not the taste we wanted or expected.. It was ok, but I was expecting the melted buttery garlic taste. We ate it and kept the Chocolate Brownie for tomorrow, we were too full to eat it!
Then as you do when you're old, we played two games of Lexulous, it's an on line version of Scrabble. We won one each, which suited me perfectly I hate losing !
We had a lovely day together.
Hope you had a lovely day too what ever you did.

I had a lovely day because the Sun was shining and it was well above freezing. So I took a long walk which I have not done in months.
Still melanoma weather here, but enjoying the winter olympics our best year yet, there was a time we didn't even compete.
Sounds like a nice day even with the food disappointment. We had a low-key day with nothing special.
It is disappointing when things don't turn out the way you predict, but at least you didn't have to cook.
Sorry about the food disappointment but other than that is sounds like a very nice day. :)
Sounds good, no valentine celebrations here, it completely passes hubby by and I learned years ago to not bother either, lol
Pleased you had a lovely day together.
All the best Jan
