Valentine's Day Dinner

Usually, Max makes V-day dinner (we never go out, because our anniversary is on 2/24 and we go out then) but this year I decided I wanted to give it try. I was going to make him prime rib, asparagus and mashed potatoes. Bought some wine and even a bottle of bubbly. Was going to be awesome.

But I forgot to buy milk for the mashed potatoes so we had to have couscous instead. And I didn't end up cooking the asparagus because after the half bottle of wine I had while waiting for the roast to be done, I got bored of cooking and didn't feel like making asparagus either. I also forgot to buy dessert. And horse radish. And crackers for the leftover brie (from the Superbowl party - yes, someone actually brought brie to a Superbowl party), which was supposed to be the appetizer.

But turns out, on his way over, Max picked up toilet paper (which even though I've been to three grocery stores over the weekend, I still managed to forget to buy any), horse radish, bagel chip crackers and chocolate truffles. Without me even asking. Awww. He also helped me cook the roast, because I got sick of sticking a meat thermometer in it every 15 minutes, and was the one who sliced it since the electric knife made me nervous. So V-day dinner turned out awesome...
