Each year on Valentine’s Day Jack and I go out to lunch. It’s less busy in the restaurants, and we usually order nice appetizers, soups, and a meal. Today we did our usual Mussels in white wine, garlic, and cream.
A wonderfully yummy appetizer! Jack ordered his Baked French Onion Soup, and today I splurged and ordered Escargot. It was serviced with puff pastry and french bread to sop up the garlic butter!
I ordered a glass of wine, Jack got a beer and then our main meals were delivered. Jack got the Quiche of the day and I ordered a Cobb Salad.
Both of us are still so full that I think we won’t have a proper meal tonight. Jack says he wants more soup, and he may finish my Cobb Salad. I don’t feel like eating anything.
It was lovely and quiet and we entered a contest for a trip of some sort to one of their Spas. It would be lovely to win, but I never expect it. It was fun to pose and enter!
Anneliese is stable right now with her eye. I gave her a hair trim on her ears, around her eyes, and on her brow. I want to keep any and all hair away from her troubled eye.
All in all, Valentines Day was quiet and nice.
Nice photo of you both. I love mussels in a sauce with bread. I was looking at cob salad for lunch when we were out one day this week, but I thought of corn on the cob. Like the salad you show and as far as I could see at the place that had cob salad, there is no corn. I don’t mind corn, but it not among my favourites.
Wow that sounds like a delicious meal ! We didn’t do anything, we never have celebrated Valentines day, it didn’t exist. Now it has become like in America or nearly. Riccardo only remembers that on Valentines day Al Capone was murdered, which is very romantic, lol !
The picture of both of you is real nice !
The salad looks delicious. I don’t care for mussels or snails so would have skipped those appetizers! Glad you had a nice lunch. We went at 3:30 and called it ‘lupper’. Great photo of you two!
