Pink for Valentines day!!

The McDaniel household weekly date night is spaghetti and cheap red wine Friday. So with Valentine's day falling on a Friday, we found no need to brave the crowds, but wanted to do something a little different. So the hubby said he had it 'handled' when I asked about dinner. And did he ever! 

Fresh Market was selling pre-packaged meals. This included a dozen pink roses(that are just now in full gorgeous bloom), Caeser salad, asparagus, 2 chateaubriand cuts of steak, and chocolate covered strawberries! 
We roasted the asparagus and I seared up the meat with salt and pepper. 
Even used our 'fancy china' and had a set table(albeit in front of the tv). And our other valentines(our fur babes), also got some steak.

That Saturday, we attended a lovely Vday party with friends where I made red beans and rice(will NOT make again) as I found it tasted like Mexican refried beans and also some red velvet whoopie pies. I mixed a few recipes but the mix was boxed and there was marshmallow fluff in the filing. 

My valentines nails...
Pink pink and more pink...
have discovered this quick dry top coat.
 Tho my nails chip quickly(thinking or trying a no chip coat before this), it's worth it to have instantly dry nails. 

What did you do on valentines day? What nail combos have you been rocking?
