Free Lunch on Valentine’s Day

Filed under: Food,Holidays,Life — gardener @ 11:19 am

FullSizeRender (6)A few days ago I joined in on a ‘Give Away’ that one of my Instagram followers was doing for a free lunch on Valentine’s Day. I thought it sounded like fun especially since I love trying new places, plus we had no plans to celebrate today.

To my surprise, I actually won the give away and spent the afternoon with my favorite guy at this cafe I’d never been to. Since I was craving salad, plus I’m trying to slim down- I opted for the warm goat cheese and spinach salad and I am SO glad I did. It was delicious. I skipped the bread since I’m trying to keep carbs somewhat at a minimum, but the salad- out of this world. Marcel had a club sandwich and french fries, which also were a win.

The food was good, the vibe good- and the coffee also a winner. Can’t beat that combination. Oh and did I mention the people were also super friendly?

What are you doing for Valentine’s Day?

Helping Out

Happy Valentine’s Day! I spent the afternoon out and about with my favorite guy. We had a good lunch, plus great conversation. He enlisted my help to find our neighbor’s wife a good deal for him for some new equipment for his band. I was happy to spend a little time checking things out for them, but didn’t take me long to be able to share that she could get 0% interest on instruments at musiciansfriend.com, which will mean a great deal to her, I know as they just recently had a new addition to the family.

Today and every day, we should share love. Even those little things of looking something up for someone or being able to help them find a gift for someone else can make a difference to them.

Happy February

Day three of the second month of the year and I heard through the grapevine that we’ll be getting six more weeks of winter as Mister Phil saw his shadow.     Quite truthfully-  aside from the grey days and a few days of really cold weather, we haven’t seen ‘that’ much winter, so I wouldn’t mind a bit of snow.

I know-   my summer-loving friends are cursing me under their breath about right now, wondering how I could dare wish for such a thing when there are sunnier skies and warmer weather to be had.    I am a love-all-seasons kind of girl, and I do love the coziness or hygge of the winter months.   I’ve been getting some writing projects done, working on various organizing projects, plus work has been keeping me busy as well.  Add the social activities and life has a good buzz happening.

What about you?  Do you prefer the hustle and bustle of Summer or the coziness of Winter?
