    What is an immersion blender...as posted by indy...?

    Valentine's is not as cost-oriented for us vs. our birthdays and Christmas. Usually a card, small gift and dinner at home.

    I even asked my partner not to give me chocolates for V-day (sounds like conquest ) ...because I ate enough sweets at Christmas and for my birthday which was end of January.

    Since it falls on Saturday and the weather looks good, this Valentine's we will be going for a bike ride together..which is what we do anyway on Saturdays. Homemade dinner of:
    smoked salmon in pastille shells with creme fraiche or yogurt cream
    gourmet sausages.... (there's a place that sells creative flavours, ie. lemongrass chicken, elk huckleberry, sake chicken, etc.)
    roasted beets with balsamic vinegar, olive oil and goat cheese
    green salad
    ice wine...we've had this bottle for awhile from our favourite winery in B.C. Better get it uncorked before it rots.

    It's a hand-held blender that you can use to puree soups. This saves you from having to put hot soup into a blender or food processor. I'm into soups at the moment.....
    Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

    We'll be sitting in the truck, driving to Connecticut for VD. Maybe, we'll go out to dinner with my sister and her GF when we get there. Frankly, I'd be happy if we just ordered some pizza and stayed at the house.
    What I really, really, want, is for DH to get a job.

    Fight is over! (I can be swayed by thai food). We're off to the bicycle races!
    Be yourself, to the extreme!

    Since I "learned the truth at 17," as Janis Ian would say, I'm pleased to have amassed 21 valentine's from my husband of 20 years.

    Lot's of ways to celebrate w/out spending money!

    My dogs are getting kongs w/frozen peanutbutter stuffed in them later today as special treat.
