2/14 – Valentine’s Day – Josh’s 5 Tips to a Stellar Valentine’s Day
1. Picture book time – grab the old wedding album and explore it with the kids. Show them Great Aunt Agnes and Crazy Uncle Mike. Talk about the day – the drama – the excitement.
2. Candlelit dinner is always a way to encourage intimacy – even if you are just having leftover chili mac – set the mood. Dim the lights, light the candles – and let the flickering flames fan the romance.
3. Dinner and a movie has once again topped the “Best Date Night” survey. Another survey says The Notebook is the most Romantic movie you can watch. I, personally, think Joe Vs. The Volcano is way more romantic. And way less depressing.
4. Pick a challenging recipe off of your Pinterest page – go get all the weird ingredients – put on some fun music and get the whole family involved in the preparation. It might turn out a total failure, but dancing in the kitchen might be one of the greatest things about your day.
5. Groupon a weekend getaway in the Quarter (for after Mardi Gras). You can save a bundle – and be a tourist in your hometown. There are some awesome 4 and 5 star hotels with private courtyards and of course amazing food to explore.

  2. 2 & 3. Bacon Cheddar Cheese Melt – 8 (The pretzel crust set this one apart. It was the best crust overall.)/ Meatballs & Mozzarella – 8 (This is Julie’s favorite. “I really liked this one, because it tasted just like my favorite Hamburger Helper – Cheesy Italian Shells.”)
  3. Philly Steak & Cheese – 7.5 (I’ve never had a real Philly Cheese Steak, but Josh said it didn’t taste like one. However it did taste good.)

  5. Cheddar Cheeseburger – 5 (Tasted like a cheeseburger, complete with pickle. But not in a good way.)
