  4. We are headed to Chattanooga, TN (a bit over an hours drive) to dine with my brother in law and his wife at Riverside Deli. That's how we roll here. Romantic night with kin at a deli. Actually the guy does two or three "special" meals a year and hubby's brother swears by it.

    1. Kathy I hope you are at least getting better. Maybe a small wee brandy? That was my Grandpa's cure for bronchitis: burn it outta ya!
      I have to say there is something in it.

    2. I am getting better, but of course more slowly than I'd like. Your Grandpa was right, and I have been having a nip every night.

    3. Do take care...mine turned into pneumonia.
      Hope that your sweetheart makes you something soothing for dinner!

    1. GF so glad Downton made me do it. I sized up in this frock too and I'm glad I did, there will be no dieting this evening.
      Is there anything more delicious than profiteroles, they may be the perfect treat.

  7. Happy Valentine's Day, Dani. I hope that you have a nice dinner out. If you carry your new bag, maybe you can sneak a photo :)

    No big plans here as my husband is away for work and returning late tonight. He has something up his sleeve, though, I'm actually super excited to find out what!

    1. Abby I'll be carrying my new bag like the good friend it has become. I have some photos already with a couple of outfits, I'll share tomorrow.
      Oh I wonder what it is. I hope he doesn't get back too late so that you can have some of the day together!

    Enjoy your dinner!

  9. Happy Valentine's Day, Dani. My hubby woke up with the upset stomach that Slugger had earlier this week, so I think I will be making him chicken soup and watching Scandal (the best show ever). I usually make a heart shaped pizza for the boys, which they love.

  12. We're going out for a casual dinner at our favorite Mexican Food place--no reservations required. It's always our favorite place to go--no matter the occasion.

  13. Hi Dani, enjoy your romantic dinner with Mr BP. We've got to see you in that gorgeous little velvet number.

  14. Have a delightful, romantic day Dani.

  15. Happy Valentine's Day Dani. Have a wonderful dinner with Mr.BP . O.k. where did you go in Paris for that desert? I could inhale that ... who cares about the main course.
    We're in tonight and I made a Sheppard's Pie and chocolate cake. It's grey and we had touch of rain earlier so I'll put the fire on .

    1. Hey Marsha, it's in DBP's drool-worthy caption but I am steal sharing because I luff it and another pic of their profiteroles is in the site header. http://www.pieddecochon.com/
      Just stopping by while scrolling to say my DH would adore your Valentine menu. Although technically he would say you likely mean cottage pie. In the UK and particularly Wales (his original stomp) shepherd's is made with minced lamb.

    2. Thanks GetFresh I like the sound of cottage pie. I use a combo of minced lamb and beef. Do you live in Toronto?

    3. Marsha, that's a smart idea for flavour, texture. And yes, T.O.

  16. Hi Dani, I hope you enjoy your dinner out with Mr. BP. My husband has taken today and tomorrow off work and we are just spending time together.
    By the way, I was reading another blog yesterday and came across this link to a recipe for a St. Germain cocktail. Thought you might like to see it!

  17. Hi Dani, Happy Valentines's Day! I hope you and your husband have a wonderful evening out. We just had a takeout dinner (no dishes to wash, yay!) and are hanging out at home.

  18. Hi Dani-I hope your tete a tete with Mr BP was sparky. Please let us see pictures of you glowing in your silk velvet. No doin's here, but tomorrow afternoon we are driving up to Louisville, going to dinner and then to the opera. I hope all of y'all had wonderful Valentine's Days.

  19. We spent the afternoon at the art museum after MLane had meetings and I volunteered at the shelter; unfortunately , I neglected to bring up any change of clothes so went to our nice dinner( without apron) in dark grey tweed pants, Liberty Wiltshire shirt and brocade blue tippi. I was surrounded by pretty dresses; ML did not mind.

  20. After a few disasters (seated next to a couple where she didn't get the proposal she expected, he got drunk, she threw her chocolate mousse and missed him, I got spattered), we stay home on Valentine's night. However, last night, we had an old-fashioned pizza and red wine dinner out. We'll have a few more special meals out next week and the week after. No complaints.

    Glad you're keeping the long pantsuit, it's a great choice. And I'm distressed about the Chanel skirt, but I hope you're saving it to cannabilize in case of emergency jacket repairs, at least the fabric and the lining will match.
