what are you doing for valentines for your other half ? ...

im cooking a whole stuffed roast chicken with all the trimmings for the wife and i.

we dont have a full roast very often now ...

Nothing. We've very recently got back from celebrating my 40th so we're having a quiet one.

My wife doesn't celebrate greetings card industry faux celebrations... So, nothing.

She much prefers I surprise her on another days, to show I actually love her, as opposed to following the herd in a faux celebration.

a fully stuffed (sage and onion) roast chicken is in the oven, on a low temp, baby peas and baby carrots ready on the stove. boiled onion with chicken gravy ready to heat up (just have to add the chicken juices). baby potatoes (par boiled) with honey roast parsnips in trays ready for roasting (in olive oil). Yorkshire pud (home made). for desert, lemon drizzle cheese cake with a bottle of lemon and raspberry lemonade for a drink with the meal, please have a nice valentines day, enjoy ...

Sounds great, I wish you a wonderful evening with your wife.

thank you big_D and the same to you and yours, have a great day ...

Nothing. I'm at work.
Even if I wasn't we'd still be doing nothing.

the wife and I had a lovely meal, we both enjoyed it. it was a bit of a surprise (for the wife) as we dont normally have a full roast, sit down, dinner with dessert mid week, it made a pleasant change for both of us, also nice to spend some well earned time together (shift work) and yes i did all the washing up afterwards . both of us do hope others enjoyed their day, together ...
