Hi Chris,
Well from a females point of view (well mine anyway), I think the gift is lovely.
I would be very very happy if I got something like that, its not tacky, its romantic.
Have a lovely valentines days

A quick easy no schlepp meal....
Chicken Kiev, baked potato, sour cream, salad and crusty bread with olive oil and balsamic vinigar.
You could manage that easily!
If you're not too heavily into cooking but like nice food cooked at home, try going to a local Tesco/Sainsbury's/Waitrose and picking up some ready to cook food from their fresh deli counter. Drop in the week before and talk to the people serving behind the counter. Explain what you want to do and they'll probably be very helpful, suggesting what goes well with what, then on the day just call lin a pick up what you need ready to finish off at home.
Remember for a fun night, passion & pasta don't usually mix well - go for low carb meals that leave you feeling light and spritely! Beef's good if she eats it, or tiger prawns, lots of mixed salad (dead easy to prepare) with balsamic vinegar dressing & extra virgin olive oil.
Have you considered a bottle of fizz? It doesn't have to be champagne, sparkling chardonnays are good from Australia or California - just make sure whatever it is is well chilled, chill the glasses as well if you've got the space in the fridge.
And you may want to skip desert in favour of a small box of Thorntons/supermarket's finest choccies that you can take with you and retire to the comfy chairs on (NOT THE COMFY CHAIRS!). And you probably already know brands typically don't matter in all this, as luv2lick capably pointed out its the delivery that matters. She's guaranteed to swoon over you because you've taken so much effort.
Have a great nite!
Sainsburys butter chicken.......pilau rice..........its sooooooooo tasty. I think the wine is as important though, dont go ruining an evening with shyte wine.... if its white - chablis (very cold and not less than £8 per bottle not more than £11) if its red try a nice saint-emillion (not less than £6 more than £9 is a waste).
Champagnes all right but its very unimaginative and the best bit is the pop anyway.
and what about brandy... ooh im in the mood for a drink now..sorry
yeap
Get a ready toeat meal from tesco`s a nice bottle of white, chablis is good, as for the gift put it in a box with red rose petals in the box also.
Candels in the bed room etc
Thankyou both... yes maybe it was Rio's in December, that does sound highly plausable... I probably missed a good social event... but was definately going out with GF by that time, so far tooo busy enjoying myself :twisted: :twisted:
Nice meal suggestions, I am actually not capbable of producing a meal that is too complicated (I incinerated a chicken breast the other day!!!), so keeping it simple shows I care without the downside of producing something inedible. Salmon might be nice though... if only I knew how to cook the stuff... I am the sort of person that needs more information than "in the oven in tin foil"
PM on its way to you Chris
Does anyone think its too forward to buy a shagging partner a valentines card??
Its a funny one not all mooshy!? Just be nice to hear what others think!?
If you are a guy and a girl (shagging partner) got you a funny valentines card what would you think, would it freak you out or think its innapropriate from a shagging partner??
Chris
Here is my menu suggestion:
Starter- slice of quality pate with a dollop of cranberry jelly on the side and 3 physallis fruit or a sliced fig made into a fan shape. To be served with individual small rolls of oven warmed bread and butter in room temperature
Main - Fillet of tuna done on a grill pan (the pan that has ridges and gives nice lines to food) with a thyme and lemon dressing (just chop the fresh thyme, mix with a bit of quality olive oil and a few drops of lemon and pepper). Tuna needs minimum cooking to maintain its succulence and taste. To be served with baby boiled potatoes and green beans.
Dessert - meringue nests filled with fresh or tinned fruit mixed with sweet whipped cream and drizzled with fruit syrup.
The ideas come from a cookbook that me and my ex are working on which might see the light of publication in the near future.
Enjoy!
Just realised, my personal chef can come prepare the meal for you so all you have to do is serve and enjoy. He would expect to be compensated for costs of course. We are planning to start a business helping people out in such situations. PM me for more info.
