It seems everyone made it through Friday the 13th with no reported
mishaps so what does this sweetheart day involve for tonight's
dinner? A special restaurant or a special home cooked meal or
meeting up with family or friends?

It's going to be a large salad here with crumbled bacon, cheese,
croutons,
and ranch dressing.-a I just realized I forgot to get a container
of grape tomatoes.-a No big deal, it will be fine without them.
Couple of chopped boiled eggs will make up the difference plus
some fresh ground black pepper.

Jenni and I stayed home for Valentines day, but we took the two
youngest to Golden Corral the day before.-a IMHO, most of the food
is hardly edible, and I only go once per year, at her insistence..
LOL.

My son requested Golden Corral twice for his birthday. I figured out
that there we two items worth eating. Those were the fried chicken
and the cherry tomatoes. The fried chicken was pretty good, in spite
of being fried in shitty oil. They brine it well.
