I shopped the freezer for our dinner, found sole for a rich fish soup, crabcakes for the second course with red lobster biscuit mix, and am looking for a dessert recipe now. I planned previously and purchased him a silver chain off Amazon and some fire retardent gloves he had been wanting- oh and a bright yellow teddy. He loves bright colours. I bought him a heart-shaped box of chocolates too! We're watching a movie I had been wanting to watch for months and going to bed early ;)

We have friends who have been watching Gordon ramsey videos and then cooking what he cooks! They did steak with a sauce over top and veggies and potatoes, and the other day they did a shrimp scampi. Buy what you need to make dinner and dessert, and reserve a redbox!

Chocolate covered strawberries. Today I bought strawberries for 1. 99, semi-sweet chocolate $2. 00. You can buy a cheap bottle of wine and make spaghetti and salad. Light up a couple emergency candles that you might have on hand, and bam! Simple romantic dinner!
