Our Unexpected Valentines Day Dinner

Originally we were going to be near our
far-away church on Friday.
*
The snow storm changed this,
so we were cozy and warm at home.


I fried up some mushrooms,


reheated some chicken I had roasted the day before,


and we shared a large baked potato.


A nice green salad, water to drink... 


While we were enjoying dinner,
I had mixed up in the pan a quick
brownie mix that baked while we were eating...


So for dessert we had hot out of the oven 
brownie with French vanilla ice cream! 


We also enjoyed a chocolate spice tea.


I used my finest festive China...
not only was it Valentines Day but the 
Eve of the Feast of the Presentation... 
 

It was a lovely dinner and dessert!


The present I was so excited to give my 
beloved Mr. Husband!


First American Edition of 
CS Lewis'
The Four Loves.


I was especially excited to find this book
at a reasonable price as when
Mr. Husband and I first met on that
beautiful unseasonably warm Canadian Thanksgiving weekend,
we listened to my recording of CS Lewis reading this book.

It was a lovely day.
I am so thankful!
