Valentine's Day is tomorrow (Thursday!)

Bill and I are celebrating Valentine’s Day on Friday (we’re delaying it by a day) by attending an eight-course wine tasting dinner at the Dalhousie Golf Course in Cape Girardeau (weather permitting). We’re spending the night at a cottage on the grounds, so we can walk from the restaurant back to our room without worrying about driving after drinking wine with every course.

I usually fix a romantic dinner at home for us and we eat at a table for two in front of the fireplace. Last year I made lobster Caesar salad and we drank Champagne.  Bill loves to play poker, so my table setting made him the “King of Hearts” and I was his “Queen.” 

If you’re looking for last minute Valentine’s Day tablescape ideas, feel free to borrow mine.  Bill liked it.  And for menu ideas, check out a great site called www.myrecipes.com for date-night dinners.
