Happy, day after, Valentine’s Day! I hope you all had a wonderful Valentine’s!

Muffins, Omelette’s, Hot Tamales, and Xbox,…that’s what my Valentine’s Day entailed. Well, part of it at least.

My Valentine’s Day started early…too early I must say!! For some reason I woke up at 5:45 am and could not go back to sleep. I feel like this is becoming some sort of routine for me. But, it did help me get things started early. A few nights ago, J and I were watching Barefoot Contessa on the Food Network. She made Chunky Banana Bran Muffins and an Omelette’s for Two. I decided to use her recipes for our Valentine’s morning breakfast.

That’s where the muffin’s and omelette’s come in.

If you’re looking for some good breakfast recipes, these were great!!

The muffins were moist and delicious,…not the typical sweet muffin I’m used to, but very good!

And the omelet was cool since you just stick it in the oven to bake instead of cooking it on the stove-top. This made for much time saved,…I was able to clean up the kitchen and get everything else ready for breakfast while it baked.

And Xbox and Hot Tamales, you ask?

We stayed pretty mellow for gifts, but I had to make a little happy bag of treats for my husband….

That included hot tamales and an assortment of other chewy, gummy candies he loves… along with an Xbox game points card. Yes,…that is what he wanted.

Here’s the recap of a conversation we had a week ago.

J: Valentine’s is coming up. What do you want?!

Lydia: Oh,..wow,…it’s Valentine’s already? Eh,…I don’t really care. It feels like we just had Christmas. It doesn’t matter. Lets just go to dinner or something… (blah, blah, blah….)

J: Oh,..ok….

Lydia: Wait! What do you want? Hmmmmm, is this why your asking?

J: I want an Xbox game points card and a throne for my RockBand drum set.

Lydia: Oh, I see you little stinker. That is why you asked!

THE END

So,….as you can see my hubby already knew what he wanted. Since then, sadly, his Rockband drums have broken. We’re waiting on a new set to arrive in the mail any day now. I couldn’t bear to buy him a “throne” as he calls it….(normal non Rockband language for “stool”), if he didn’t have any drums to sit at and play with. So,…I’m suuuuuure he’ll get that soon!

So, in exchange, I bought him his Xbox game points instead.

And, I also carved a heart in onion skin as a decoration for his plate at lunch.

The things you do for love….
