Jane and I are taking the day off, mostly, playing GW2 and having a fancy breakfast (bacon, hashbrowns, eggs with sour cream, and English muffin (I think the English call it a crumpet.) And skipping lunch because we pigged out on breakfast, supper will be Jane’s favorite: chili on spaghetti topped with cheese, jalapenos, and sour cream, a little more GW2, and then coconut cream pie (storebought, not mine) with Champagne. I figure I cooked breakfast, I cook supper, and the pie—I’m not baking, because that’s a 2 day job. My recipe calls for refrigerating the fussily made pie dough overnight before one single chance at proper rollout, then a light bake, while making egg cream filling on stove, which requires constant stirring, with coconut, then bake while you whip up a real meringue (to heck with this modern fear of egg whites!) and then fill and top and bake the pie. That’s for people with time. I’ll content myself with cream pie with ooky stuff on it—the type our supermarket uses isn’t that bad.
We sort of missed Christmas, we sort of sat out New Year’s in a pile of stuff from the rooms we were trying to get finished, so I figured, hey, let’s do a nice Valentines Day of Idleness…
It all sounds lovely! Especially the pie! 😀 Happy Valentine’s Day to you both!
And a Happy Valentine’s Day to all the salads everywhere!
I’ve been thinking of this song or a couple of days. What do you know, they did make a remix!

Happy celebration of marriage day!
When I lived in Scotland in the ’80’s, my (now) spouse and I went looking for English Muffins at Marks & Spencers’ Food Hall (aka grocery store where you can get food). I already knew that English Muffins did not appear in Scottish shops but figured Marks & Sparks, being English and also a large store as sources for food went, might have them. Crumpets we found easily but still kept combing the aisles and asking clerks until we located them under the title of… “muffins!” No additional adjective was apparently known or needed in the UK.
Lol!
Thank you!
Happy Valentine’s Day to you both!
Thank you all!
I spent Valentine’s Day in Detroit at a kendo tournament until 3:45PM, then headed home to catch a snowstorm about 60 miles north of home. It got progressively worse the closer I got to home, until I was driving on the interstate at about 35MPH for 3 miles before my exit.
Would have liked to have taken a special lady out to dinner, but didn’t get home in time, and hadn’t had the intestinal fortitude to even ask her last week the last time I saw her. I guess I’m just not sure what her feelings toward me are, but I think she knows what mine are toward her.
and I’ve hashed that topic to death over on Shejidan……sorry…..shouldn’t be crossing the lines…
I understand congratulations are in order.
Thank you. 😉
It’s awfully quiet over on the Net….
