Ya still gotta eat chocolate

Thursday February 14, 2013

Well, what would be more romantic than to spend the evening at a Cub Scout meeting? It wasn't too bad. We had a visit from the Stargazer Group and the guest really interacted well with the kids. I get the feeling he was really a kid in disguise. The beard seemed pretty realistic though.

I made the most amazing dinner... yes me... all by myself ... leek veggie soup, lamb stew in a veggie creamy sauce with egg noodles, baby spinach  salad, and fruit salad as desert. It was my gift to my parents and hubby. Heck it was even had the James stamp of approval. Mind you I had to cream his soup as he doesn't like chunks of veggies.

Yes, I did make the dinner - and everyone loved it. Proof positive that it was so good, because nobody even asked " Where can I get a good blintz?"

My mom is the best... she brought us a basket of goodies, which included homemade jam....

oh yeahhhhhhhhh.....

I LOVE the box! 

Thinking I could cover the top with some stitching

and use it as a small accessory sewing box :)

I decided that even though the dinner I made was as near to perfection as possible, 

and I remain yet ever so humble and modest,

(watch out Iron Chef!)

there still was a lack of chocolate desert after the meal... 

sooooo...

After Cubs I convinced James we needed to go to the grocery store...

 for more lamb as we're having another guest tomorrow...

Now how did that end up in my cart?

Wow... and whipping cream too?

Reminds me of that post-it note photo yesterday...

Geez, hubby got a slice so quick after I came home,

I didn't have a chance to take a pic of it whole.

I think we all inhaled our pieces....

It was soooo good.

Almost as good as my dinner...hehehe

To end the evening...

Valentine's day is an artificial day...
