valentine's day

Yesterday, of course, was Valentine's Day and we decided we weren't going to go out and do anything since we could save money and have whatever we wanted to eat and be by ourselves if we stayed home and had dinner. Before dinner, we gave each other little gifts: I gave Eric the new Jack Johnson CD, and he got me a bouquet of carnations and a box of Lindt chocolates. YUM! For dinner, I made my specialty salmon (wrapped in foil to marinate in the oven...delicious), baked asparagus with mushrooms and various herbs and spices. and garlic French bread. It was a really good dinner, and Eric bought some little cocktail glasses and Martinelli's so we made it a little fancy party. Of course, I had to take a picture of dinner because I was really proud of myself (this was a big cooking night for me, hah):


We also had candles. It was really nice. After dinner, we watched Lost, which made the night even better! It was another trippy episode, of course - because it wouldn't be Lost if it wasn't trippy and weird, but it was fun. Only 40 episodes until the series finale - and the everything will be answered...
