Steak Dinner at home:

I don't do steaks.  Rooi has to cook the steak and since he is so busy on a normal basis, we don't have it very often.  But every Valentine's Day he makes time to go out and BBQ it for us.  At least this year he didn't have to do it in the snow.  We also had asparagus (because I love it so much) and I made dessert.  Heart-shaped Chocolate chip cookie dough cheesecake.  Recipe found here.  This was my first attempt at cheesecake of any kind and I think it turned out pretty good.  Not perfect, but good.  Oh and I also decorated the table.  It was fun.

We try to be creative in our presents for each other on V-day.  This year Rooi got me an Edible Arrangement (something I have wanted since the first time I saw the commercial 3 years ago, I love fruit!!) He also made our whole dinner.  He let me help a little with some of the small stuff, but he planned the menu and told me what do.  It was very good, very delicious.  Twice baked potatoes, grilled asparagus, a green salad, and bacon wrapped beef tenderloin.  Muah!  Muy deliciouso!  I made Rooi a candy bar poster and a scavenger hunt that lead him around campus and back to our apt where he found a slide show of us from the past 4 years.  We met 2 days after Valentine's Day back in 2007, it doesn't seem like it's been that long, but it has.

That was it for us.  All in all it was pretty fun, and my present doubled as an activity for our date.  I was pretty proud of how it turned out and he only needed help to figure out one clue.  And he said he loved it so two thumbs up.  I got the idea from this website, My Insanity. 

Anyway, hope you had a fabulous Valentine's Day too!
