Valentine’s Day

Last night, we decided to spend our Valentine’s Day enjoying each other’s company at home.  Steve (with some slight assistance from me) made DELICIOUS gnocchi from scratch using a friend’s recipe.  (That’s right – we own a potato ricer.)  He accented the gnocchi with a homemade lobster sauce.  A-M-A-Z-I-N-G.  Simply wonderful.  Not only that, but we had fun making a mess in the kitchen as Steve prepared the gnocchi.

We ended the evening with a not-so-romantic movie…Waiting for Superman.  As if we weren’t depressed enough about Baby Vo’s education, the Superman documentary outright made us feel hopeless.  In fact, I cried at the end in part because of the outcome for some of the kids, but also because of how depressing our school system is.  We’ve really got to figure out what to do to make sure that Baby Vo gets the best education possible!  (Perhaps this is too big of an issue simply to add to our to-do list.)

Worst Cooks in America

Tonight, we went to a viewing party for Worst Cooks in America on the Food Network.  Our friend, Kelli, is one of the contestants.  The party was packed and the food was excellent.  I recommend the show for entertainment value and some useful cooking tips.

We won’t ask Steve’s opinion on this one, but sadly, I could have been a viable candidate.  I really have to improve before Baby Vo arrives!
