M and S Valentines Day Dine In

paddyann54

I've always replicated the first Valentines meal we had ,so its melon and prawn ,Sole Veronique ,green beans and baby potatoes and Strawberry Mille Feuille...once a year for now 49 years.
I dont like going out for Valentines and I've never tried any of these "meal deals" ,how boring is that?

Not as boring as forgetting it altogether❣

I didn't get to M&S so it might be sausage and mash instead 😁

Another couple here who don’t ‘celebrate’ the day. We’ll be eating leftovers.

we are having a good laugh at the love sausage

We don't bother with it either, but I did buy a pack of Wagyu burgers from Aldi yesterday which had a cheesy 'heart' topping, part of their Valentine's range. I'm not particularly a burger lover, but they looked nice and I have to say they were very good indeed.

What are Fat Rascals Yammy ?

We went to Betty’s in York on hols a few years back and it was lovely.

A Fat Rascal is a fancy rock cake

Valentine's Day we make a lovely family dinner for all our family, school night matters not. A bit of palaver really.

China, silver, linens, all pretty and traditional. I love it.

I do wish some of these offers had decent vegetarian options...

Same here. They are pretty mournful aren’t they

Norah that sounds absolutely lovely.
Can I come?

You may.

Vegan red/pink food at it's finest!

Sounds a bit rude doesn’t it? Like a euphemism. 😂

We’ve got the 2 elder Gdcs coming to stay tomorrow, so I’m planning on macaroni cheese - their favourite.
I’ve got a card for dh, but nothing else. Not strictly a Valentine’s one, but I like it.

Tables done until flowers arrive.
Eighteen, including a few GC.

Beetroot soup, breads
Red curry and rice
Tomato salad, bread
Chocolate strawberries, coffee

Red gingham table cloth and napkins, avocado served in heart-shaped dishes, meal planned and cooked by yours truly; 14 Feb is always special, even as the Golden Wedding looms.

Thanks Fanny those fat rascals look very moreish, yum 😋

I wish my lovely man was here to share the day he used to make it so special instead I will share a special meal with my best friend & riminess and raise a glass.

aonk, we've bought almost the same M & S meal as you did. Don't usually make much of Valentine's Day (or use ready meals) but it looks like a good offer and makes for a special treat on a cold February day.

Glad so many of you still make something of the day even after decades together. I miss my DH especially because he always bought flowers even when we were young and broke, so I shall buy my own today as a special memory.
