Valentine Day Surprise




Here is my scoop about our Valentine's Day. Well, was I surprised when my husband said we were going to the movies and then we'll decide about dinner. We saw "It's Complicated," which had been on our forever To-Do List. I thought Meryl Streep and Alec Baldwin were marvelous and not to mention Steve Martin. Aboslutely worth watching - I know all of you who have seen it will agree. After the movies, it was off to dinner at a lower Eastside Persian Grill.....skewers of marinated chicken and ground sirloin served alongside roasted onions and tomatoes on a bed of fragrant basmati rice. The food was delicious - the chicken skewer was well seasoned and out of this world. Warm pita bread was served with pickled vegetables (Torshi ) that served as a dip. I said let's skip dessert - which my husband thought was rather unusual. We headed back home and then I had a surprise - two mini chocolate cakes I had baked earlier in the day.....perfect indulgence for Valentine's Day - does it get any better than this?
