In Spite Of Valentine, A Feast

Mrs. Nod and I just aren't that into Valentine's Day. We're not against it, we just don't pay much attention to it. Hallmark will just have to do without us today.

However that didn't keep us from having a fabulous dinner -- we just included all the rest of our family in it. We haven't seen much of each other due to the Blizzard of 2010, so we had a mini-party. For brunch we had awesome Swedish pancakes, eggs, Danish, coffee, juice, fruit, muffins, bacon, and sausage.

For dinner we indulged in T-bone steak, green beans and almond slivers in garlic butter, julienne parsnips and mushrooms, and red potatoes and onions sauteed in olive oil and paired with a nice Shiraz and crescent rolls. All this topped off with chocolate and pistachio gelato.

Yeah, now that's the stuff.
