Valentine's Day

[Dick Whitman]

What did everyone do for the big holiday?

We didn't do ****. We drank a couple beers and watched the Blackhawks game at home on Saturday. On Sunday, we organized our Christmas closet.

We have pretty heavy snow and bad roads on Sunday afternoon/evening.

So, if you were so inclined, you could save face by announcing you had a reservation at a pricey restaurant but it's too dangerous to go.

Or, you could snag a reservation at a nice restaurant as lots of people canceled.

We went to a movie and cooked dinner together, and I made chocolate cake and chocolate mousse.

I took my valentine for a 5 1/2 mile walk in the miserable cold, took a nap and worked.


Even when I had a human valentine, the day never meant much to me. Feb. 14 is the anniversary of my father's funeral and that tended to stand out over and hearts, cards and flowers. That never really registered with the valentine until one of her parents died and then she was like, damn, I get it now.

Wife and I went to see Deadpool, then ate dinner at the Chinese buffet.
Good times.

 

[Spartan Squad]

Some minor league hockey, followed by drinks and dinner.

It was all great until two people my wife and I were seated next to acted like they were about to start humping on the table at any moment. We were seated not two feet from them and they were gushing over each other like two middle school kids in heat. It was really awkward.

 

[JackReacher]

Very little. As usual.

Wife had a bunch of errands to do yesterday, so we decided to. go out to lunch today. Figured the restaurants wouldn't be as crowded.

 

[3_Octave_Fart]

Did the bills, cleaned the house, watched a Vikings marathon.
Then made love.

 

[Dick Whitman]

One thing I can tell you didn't do, for sure: Vote.

 

[The Big Ragu]

We are both sick. We cooked, watched a hockey game and went to bed early.

 

[Fly]

Friends called to invite Mrs. Fly and me to lunch. Hung out with them for a while, had a blast.

Later that evening, we went out for pho.

Not a bad winter Sunday.

 

[Evil ... Thy name is Orville Redenbacher!!]

pho??

 

[LongTimeListener]

pho??

Moses Malone swears by it.

(It's funny now as a transplant from the Midwest to see people with those puzzled looks about unfamiliar Asian foods.)

I never know if I'm from the Midwest...is the Great Lakes area part of the Midwest???

 

[Spartan Squad]

pho??

It's a Vietnamese soup with noodles, a light broth and some sort of meat (be it chicken or beef) and some herbs and other veggies. It's very similar to Japanese udon where you can mix and match.

 

[Webster]

Was sick as a dog. We weren't sure if we could get a babysitter and decided to play the restaurant reservations by ear. Turns out that my aunt, who had agreed, backed out watching the kids when she heard I was sick. Ended up having takeout Korean. Opened a very good Cabernet, which Mrs. W enjoyed while I had NyQuil. Asleep by 9:30.

 

[amraeder]

Mostly fed the baby and changed diapers. My mom watched the kid so that we could go out to lunch. Also did a quick stop by a local chocolate stop and picked up a couple chocolates. But mostly bottles, diapers, and Netflix.

 

[MisterCreosote]

We got the kids to bed without major incident and were asleep ourselves by 10 p.m.

Major, major win.

 

[JackReacher]

pho??

Just the best soup on the planet. Doubt there's a Pho restaurant within 200-300 miles of you, which is unfortunate.
