Valentine's Day Week!

This is Valentine's week!  I was at Kroger the other day, they are bursting with Valentine's Day stuff.  They had desserts on display, candy bouquets, balloons, and flower bouquets.  I've always wondered who gives a balloon on cupid's day? Seems odd to me! It also seems to be too early for some of what Kroger had on display.  I wouldn't buy a dessert now I'd wait until the day of.  Every year Kroger also sets up a large tent in their parking lot...the Valentine's day tent.  That's a little odd to both of us too!  I guess Kroger desires to be the one stop shop for Valentine's day!

To get into the spirit of the upcoming day of love, Brad will be receiving a small treat each day of the week.  I have something planned for each day. Every morning I make Brad a container full of fruit along with some other things to take to work for a easy/quick breakfast since he doesn't have time otherwise.  Yesterday and today I cut his fruit into heart shapes. When he got home last night he was giggling about the heart shaped fruit. LOL! He said he ate a piece before realizing the shape. On his 2nd piece of fruit he noticed the shaped heart.

I also plan on focusing this week's meals on some of Brad's favorites.  I love surprising him with extra special meals.  I love seeing his face light up as he walks into our home for the night then notices the aroma overtaking his senses!  Last night I planned a meal he grew up loving.  I was bursting with excitement as I waited for him to arrive home to notice that familiar aroma! Tonight is another one of his fave meals...jambalaya!  I sure do enjoy making it as well! Based on the nasty weather outside as snow flurries and sleet are in the forecast for this afternoon, jambalaya will be quite tasty at the end of the day!
