Valentine's Weekend

{Beer Barrels &  Miscellaneous Distillery Trials}

{Wine Tasting & Vats of Wine}

{Waiting to try the limited edition beer.}

{Ruby beer, and water with a straw (of course)}

{Inside the Little Red Shed}

Over the weekend, my boyfriend and I celebrated Valentine's Day early by staying at one of our favorite places, Edgefield McMenamins.  If you haven't stayed the night there or visited, I highly encourage it.  They have a great wine tasting area, small golf course, sea salt swimming pool, and much more.  It's nice to escape from the TV and computer for a weekend and enjoy an uninterrupted mini-vacation.

Valentine's Day Cooking Ideas

{Grilled Salmon with Mustard Sauce and Asparagus}

{Crab Cakes}

{Heart-Shaped Eggs in Toast}

Valentine's Day seems to fall into one of two categories for most people, they either love it, or they hate it.  I for one, love it because it's an excuse to show love and affection and be shown love and affection and not be looked at (too) strangely.  Because it is falling on a Tuesday this year, my boyfriend and I are celebrating the weekend before, and will probably do something small on the actual day.  

I think one of my most favorite ways to celebrate is to get somewhat dressed up, listen to nice music, and cook a delicious dinner at home.  Not only is it super relaxing, but it's also inexpensive.  Something my boyfriend and I like to make is fish with some sort of veggie and starch or breakfast for dinner.  Above are some recipes that I want to try cooking.
