Cindy and I had a wonderful Valentine’s Day dinner at Nana’s in Durham. Chef Scott Howell can flat out cook a special multi course meal. Ours included lobster risotto and tenderloin with all sorts of interesting side courses and a fabulous triple dessert. Every bite was a special treat. It was an expensive evening but well worth it.
The young couple to my left went Dutch. I was somewhat surprised when the lady pulled out her credit card as did the young man after asking the waiting staff to split the check. What are your thoughts about going Dutch on Valentine’s? Is this unusual? I really wanted to ask them but it was really none of my business.
What about your Valentine’s Day dinner? What did you do and how did it go? Please share.

Our Valentine's Day was wonderful. After a fun hike down the Eno, we came home, made a special dinner together, and then traded gifts and cards. Then we looked through a book on the use of hearts in antiques. Finally, a romantic movie. What a great day!

Still the food was good and we had a good time and the grandkids had a good time too!

It started with cards -- I put the card I got her in a place I knew she would find it, on top of the coffee pot. She put mine on the bathroom sink. :-)
We've been working on the kitchen cabinets, so spent the day together resurfacing the cabinets before settling down for a take home pizza from The Loop and watching a movie together on the DVD player.
