Since Valentine's Day fell on a Monday we felt well, "Mondayish." We thought about going out to eat but that is a difficult task in a small community with restaurants that only serve fried food and Tracey has to follow a low fat diet. We opted to make dinner at home instead. The only candles we had in the house were emergency ones, so we lit those and turned out the lights. We ate quietly at the kitchen table with the cat watching us from the window sill. Since we weren't in a restaurant, Tracey was happy that he could wear his baseball cap. We had to wash the dishes afterward but we didn't have to tip a waitress! Tracey brought me the beautiful flowers that you see on the table. We made a lighter version of chicken cordon bleu, you can find the recipe and nutritional information here and roasted red pepper and feta mashed potatoes, which I found way too sour. I would omit the lemon juice and cut down on the yogurt the next time. It was a nice evening, it was our 16th Valentine's day together or half of my life.
