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...
I 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?
