Title: Valentine's Day
Post by: Diane CBPFC on February 15, 2007, 08:22:30 PM

Did anyone do anything nice for Valentine's Day?

I made a chocolate fondue for the family (never have done a fondue of any kind before) I made some angel food cake and brownies to chunk up and dip in, along with apples, strawberries, pinapples, grapes, bananas and cantaloupe pieces.

It was a lot of mess but everyone felt special and that's what it's all about.

Bless you Diane. I fear, however, that you are about hear a litany of pathetic and unromantic stories from ordinary, unattractive and unloved men.

Hit it, boys.

I think Valentine's Day is becoming too commercial, what with all these Santas and carols and whatnot. I prefer to be original, so I celebrate "The tenth day after Valentine's Day" instead.

My wife and I only got each other a card for Valentine's day

The reason for this is simple, it's our 15 wedding anniversary on the 22nd
of this month. (Feb)

Thats when she can spoil me rotten  ;D

That's very thoughtful. You would be being sexist if you spoiled her every year. You must be one of these "new men".

Yes. I did a fab Chinese for a bird of mine. I even successfully did the egg-fried rice, which is a skill in itself! She said it couldn't have been more perfect (the evening, not my body), so that's a few brownie-points earned.

I'd like to know why you can't get multi-packs of Valentine's Day cards, like you can with Xmas cards. It'd make it cheaper for love-gods such as me.

Probably because even Hallmark aren't that crass.

These "birds" you mention: Do you have an aviary?
