Happy Post V-Day

So the Hallmark Holiday called Valentine's Day just past and personally, I'm recovering from my own cooking...here's the menu:

[I'll start with dessert since that's the thing I'm most excited about]
Homemade cheesecake from the Gourmet Cookbook [mmmmmm]
Flounder stuffed with real Chesapeake Bay crab meat
Roasted new potatoes with olive oil, rosemary and garlic
Steamed Asparagus

I somehow managed to burn my arm while taking the potatoes out of the oven so does that mean that since I injured myself while cooking that the meal should taste that much better?

I made enough to feed 5 and there were only two of us...so I get leftovers. Can we say, "Cheesecake -- its what's for breakfast"?

I eat leftovers, John does not; so in this case, I get to share this meal again and again...brought some in for lunch today ... still good but after the 3rd time, I think I'll be sick of it.

I received from my sweetie the Griffin & Sabine Trilogy and will thoroughly enjoy poking through the letters and enjoying the artwork. This is the second postcard type of book that John has given to me...the first was PostSecret and the author lives in Germantown, MD. I recently heard an interview with him on NPR so he's now mainstream...

I gave him cufflinks...not as creative but he's a French-cuff kind of guy. Not the type who wears a suit and tie to work but likes to be well dressed any other time.

I received the fabulous Valentine from my sister and her family with a picture of the kids kissing on the front!! I think I still have the very first one with Garrett as a baby wrapped in red silk like he was a cherub or an angel or a bit of both.

Its only Wednesday and I'm jonesin for the weekend so I can lie around and finish reading The Big Over Easy by Jasper Fforde. It’s about solving Humpty Dumpty's murder...and you thought he just fell off the wall.

We also had a BIG snow and its all gone now...its 56 degrees and not a white spot left to be seen...and I'm complaining why?

Will post some pics when I can remember to download them from the fun toy.

Grr. Even your COMMENTS need to be edited. Capitalise 'Hey', use an apostrophe for 'it's' and enough with the elipses, thanks very much.

I shouldn't NEED to edit your post, is my point. Daddy took out his misplaced apostrophe all by himself without prompting.
