Valentine's Day in general is for suckers, but when one is in a relationship with a person much less cynical than oneself, one makes a nice dinner, at the very least. In her benevolence and understanding, Ms. Alex granted me permission by to play pickleball on Friday night, so Saturday will probably be a seafood melange (lobster tail meat, Gulf shrimp, scallop) in a tarragon-butter sauce, pan-roasted Brussels sprouts, and oven-roasted potatoes.
I didn't said Valentine’s Day was for suckers, just the going out for dinner part. And I was cynical because I love to cook and cooking for someone you care about is an expression of love and sincerity.
My wife is at a week long sewing trip with some very talented people the whole week, doing what she loves And I give her her time to do what she loves. Just like she does for me when travel to Kentucky to buy barrels of bourbon or hanging with my bourbon friends in different parts of the world or traveling to buy barrels of Armagnac in France.
its always a balance
I should edit that my wife was with me in France when doing Armagnac barrel picks as was several other wife’s. We always respect their participation and palate
