Happy Valentine's Day!

 A "duo" celebration is going on at my house tonight -- Valentine's Day, and the return of my computer!   It's great to be blogging again!


   My hubby and I exchanged our cards and gifts this morning.


This year I received two handmade Valentine cards, pictured above.
The one on the right is a copy of a Victorian calling card.


A Valentine dinner place setting.




We had an early Valentine's dinner at home [so we'd be done when the IT man came with my computer].  The recipes were all from Food Network - Chicken Marsala [Tyler Florence], Rosemary Roasted Potatoes, slightly modified  [Ina Garten], and Cauliflower Gratin [Ina Garten].  The recipes are all keepers, and have been prepared before.  Hot Cinnamon Spice tea from Harney & Sons filled our teacups.  Dessert was going to be simple [chocolates], but we were both too full to eat another bite!


I wanted to serve Courtship Tea because it's perfect for Valentine's Day - a flavored black tea I was introduced to awhile ago, blended exclusively for Donna & Ron Lasko by Harney & Sons.  But when I got the gold tin from my tea cabinet, I found it almost empty.  Not to worry, a phone call to Donna Lasko has more on its way.   Click here to find out how you can order this delicious tea.  [No connection - just a satisfied customer]
