Happy Heart Day

We had a really great V-Day this year. Really Really fun. We decided to have kind of a "formal" dinner party with us, Nick and Christine and Lance and Lisa. I cooked a special Valentine's Dinner, that I wish I would have taken pictures of, cause not only was it SOOOO good, it was beautiful looking. I cooked Bacon wrapped beef tenderloin steaks, Spinich and cheese cakes, an Arugula Lemon salad (so yummy) and stuffed Lobster tail. then for desert we had chocolate Fondue, with strawberries. I was so proud of myself after tasting everything how perfect it all turned out. I really need a bigger kitchen, I wish my kids would not be so picky so I could cook like that on a regular basis. I also have been dying to try one of those Murder Mystery kits that you do at home, but was a little leary to just buy one, so after much searching, I actually found 1 online, only 1, but I decided this would be our activity at dinner. For any of you who are interested in trying one of these dinner's the link to this guys website is http://www.whodunitmysteries.com/ I would HIGHLY reccomned trying this one. It's completely free, and very very well written. The instructions are easy to follow, and game play runs pretty smoothly. After that night we will surely be purchasing some of the kits available and doing these a couple times a year with more than just 6 people. It's a great excuse for a get together, and anyone that knows me knows that I'm a sucker for a theme :) Anyway, overall we it was a pretty cool Valentine's day. Like I said I wish I would have taken some pictures, but I was too busy lol. So to everyone else, I hope your Valentines day was great.
