I think we should make the ‘Day after Valentine’s Day’ a Day to celebrate!! … boxes of chocolates are still there to be enjoyed.. half opened bottle of Prosecco still in the fridge waiting to be finished..so there… you have some of the makings for one special meal-Prosecco and chocolates.
So celebrate..the “Day after Valentines’ Day” ..as a special Occasion.. Tonight’s meal is Farfalle with Gorgonzola cheese served with Prosecco (left over from last night’s dinner) and chocolates for dessert..and to keep things warm..and light- chocolate truffle coffee for an after dinner drink.
