valentines day

i feel like this valentines day will probably be spent at home, but im ok with that! valentines day is not the easiest time to lock-down a sitter, because everyone else is also trying to show some love. annnnddd since seaside yard sales are that same weekend......well, im going to spend as much money as im allowed.  im hoping my trunk is going to look like this trunk found on an awesome yard sale blog

anyways, back to vday. a packed out trunk means that our funds for a big, romantic, bonefish-y dinner will be considerably lower. i was thinking if we will be at home, maybe i could make adam dinner. since i definitely dont do enough of the cooking in the kitchen, it would be a loving little gesture for me to take over for the night. im thinking about some of these delicious treats..

adam loves tomatoes and these look awesome via pinterest

i kid. kind of? people do cakes for valentines day, right? found this guy via pinterest as well.

but if i take over the cooking theres really no way of knowing how its gonna turn out?! should i turn the recipes over to adam for this special dinner or should i give it a go? we are going to see one of adams fave bands, Drive By Truckers, tonight for his valentine prez. any other small, cheap, lovey gift ideas you guys have to share? i gotta have a little something to hand over the day of.

  1. cheap, lovey gift? sex. lots of sex. It's cheap, AND you're getting exercise right? It's also very lovey. Tina Turner didn't have a clue what she was talking about.

  2. Those tomatoes look amazingly good!! That would be perfect with chicken! For the candy cake try this: Get a springform pan (like this: http://www.college-cram.com/study/students/files/2010/03/springform-pan.JPG) and bake brownie mix 1/2 way up. After it cools, add softened ice cream in the rest of the pan. Freeze over night. The next day, remove the pan and decorate the perfectly rounded ice cream cake with candy treats. I think Amelia could make this without messing it up! Another cheap thing you can do is make a CD or playlist of "Baby Making Music" to...ahem...you know...;)
