In addition to being Valentine’s Day weekend, it is also R and my anniversary.
Que the rolling of the eyes.
Super sappy, I know. R swears that our little romance began on the date of our first official date, as opposed to the day we met (which was my vote strictly due to our first date coinciding with Valentine’s Day).
And so, we become that obnoxious couple who really celebrates Valentine’s Day weekend.
In spite of myself, I have really been looking forward to this weekend. I’ve got a guy in my life who I love more every single day (go ahead- another eye roll is totally ok), a cat that brings us endless entertainment and an apartment we have made into a home we adore. I’ll take a weekend of unabashed celebration, no problem.
Plus, I love setting a really nice table.
First up, dinner at home tonight. Chianti Braised Short Ribs, cavatelli with vodka sauce and sun-dried tomato & roasted red pepper risotto. For a girl that doesn’t eat short ribs (or long ribs for that matter) and who did not read the actual recipe and therefore, did not know that braised short ribs take 3+ hours, the meal was delicious and the perfect thing to warm up a particularly frigid day.
Happy Friday!
