Yesterday (Tuesday) was, of course, Valentine's Day. Here's a shocker: I'm a guy (that part's not the shocker... well, maybe to some people) who really likes Valentine's Day. Why? Because it's a day I get to show off.
Yesterday I hand-made cute little paper cut-out valentines for each of the Bead Factory girls who were working and hand delivered them.
That's right. I'm that guy who makes other guys look bad. I know people don't need a special day as an excuse to do something nice for the ladies, but if it's there why not take advantage of it?
And it turns out I wasn't the only one; Chris Fantz also stopped by the store and dropped off a daffodil for each of the ladies there. See? Hmm... maybe it's only people named Chris who can be so good to the ladies. Well, considering that three of the Bead Babes are married to guys named Chris, there might be something about that name...
After work Carrie & I drove up to her folks' house and dropped off flowers and chocolates, and then went to Grandma K's and dropped off flowers and a cookie. She was eating in the dining room, so we went down there and surprised her after dropping the stuff off in her room. She seemed very happy, and actually called us after she was done eating to thank us.
I cooked dinner for Carrie. It was mahi-mahi steaks with a lemon-garlic-parsley tahini sauce. When I was making the sauce (from scratch... well, I didn't grind up the sesame seeds myself, but I combined all the ingredients) it didn't actually taste very good. It turns out that was because it was missing an essential ingredient: the fish itself. It tasted really good scooped all over the fish.
After dinner I broke out the Japanese plum wine that Sandy & Mathias had given us a couple of years ago. We mixed it with sparkling wine, and it tasted rather tasty.
It was a good, low-key Valentine's day. Carrie & I will probably go out celebrating a little bit more once she's not quite so sicky (although she did feel a lot better yesterday than she did Monday).
