My Valentines day/weekend

It looked like it would be a disaster, no candles ,no gifts no, dinner, no nothing. Valentines day past like it didn't even exist.
On saturday I decided to work half a day, because we didn't plan anything for that day. When my boyfriend came to pick me up I told him I wanted to go to Antwerp, I wanted to go shopping, again, but first we had to go to the grocery store. So it was like 3pm when we were home again, shopping in Antwerp wasn't an option anymore. I cooked a little snack and started to unpack the groceries.

What I didn't knew was that he had it al planned, the basterd. He said to me: "Hun, what do you think about going out for dinner?". And I thought great, now i don't have to cook. I love to cook, it's a little hobby of mine but sometimes it's to much of an effort. So we took the car, he drove, obviously, I can't drive yet, and I noticed we were heading another way than usually. When we drove by the sign that said "Antwerp" I pinched him, I couldn't believe he was surprising me, that's so not him. He thinks he's can't arrange stuff like that. So he doesn't try it either. But now, we're driving to Antwerp and now I kind of know what to expect. He took me to our favorite Italian restaurant, La Torre.

We talked and laughed the whole evening, we even got recognized by the bartenders, it has been seven or eight months since we've last ate there. Afterwards we went to a gay bar, they have the best cocktails of Antwerp, and we both love to watch people, so it's the perfect place for a drink.

I was a little drunk that night, so after five minutes I was asleep, normally I try to stay awake so when he gets tired i can keep him awake, but now, it didn't occur to me that I fell asleep, until the next day.

He was already downstairs when I woke up. I was still a little tires so I turned around and napped a little. Only fifteen minutes later he came to wake me, said he had a little surprise for me. It was waiting for me in the living room, the cutest and sweetest thing he ever did. He arranged a breakfast for me, with toast, eggs, grapes, strawberries and even champaign. The champaign was too much for me, especially after all the wine and cocktails from last night.

It was the best breakfast ever! In the afternoon I went to my sister, we pinned that date before I knew my bf didn't had to work. But I've made it up with him, I made Valentines waffles. You can find the recipe on FoodReporter. So my Valentine was pretty good, what I really didn't expected.
I hope yours was as good as mine.





Let me know how your day/weekend was in a comment.
Talk to you later!

14th of February

Today is, like everyone knows, Valentines day. Last year mine was pretty good, I can't really remember what happened that day, but I know it was good and, come on, that is the most important.
But this year I have NO IDEA! I haven't planned or bought a thing. I have to work till noon and than I thought of making waffles, special Valentine waffles. There is only one tiny problem: I've never ever baked waffles before, I have a recipe, it's exactly the same for pancakes and that bothers me a little. There has to be a difference, right?
But anyway, my BF planned on cooking tonight, but we have to go to the dentist, together (isn't that romantic?), around 4pm and eating something (hopefully) delicious with a sleeping mouth and tongue can be dangerous. So I asked him if he'd mind to reschedule his dinner to the weekend, so he did, but I think he's up to something in the weekend, I have really no idea what it could be but it has something to do with the weather, he just keeps asking what weather it will be.
I don't know what I can expect and I have to find a present for saturday.
If you have any Valentine, present or waffle tip, pleas leave it in a comment.
Also mention what your plans are for today, what you got your bf/gf as a gift and how you feel about all the commotion around Valentines day.
And I wil keep you up to date after the weekend.

Everyone, enjoy Valentines day!
