What are your plans for Valentine's Day?

My wife and I don't really celebrate it, but I'm curious what some of you do to celebrate Valentine's Day.

My celebration will probably be some combination of booze, pills, porn, television, more porn and finally passing out shirtless in the yard, after threatening the neighbors with my poop cannon.

Sort of like most holidays around our house. What are your local customs?

I made my wife some homemade chocolates and a card. I don't know what she has planned for me...

i am going away on friday and coming home on monday, we are going back to where we got married and basically to have a nice romantic weekend

 

Nice! What kind of chocolates did you make? And where did you learn to do this?

 

I don't celebrate this day much at all,

I'd just rather lie around and sleep,

For others that enjoy this day,

Let them have their way.

When is it? Anyway, not important, I'm barely aware of its existence.

 

It is tomorrow.

 

Butter Creams:

1 pkg. (3 oz.) cream cheese, softened
1/2 c. butter, softened
4 c. confectioners' sugar
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla

Beat cream cheese and butter in bowl until smooth. Blend in sugar and vanilla. Chill 1 hour - shape into 1 inch balls and chill overnight. Coat with simple chocolate coating.

CHOCOLATE COATING

4 oz. bar dipping chocolate (Ghirardelli recommended)

Melt chocolate as directed on package. Remove from heat and stir in oil. Cool chocolate to 85 to 90 degrees for dipping. Dip cold firm center into melted chocolate and then place each onto foil lined baking pan. Chill at least 2 hours to set chocolate. Place into tight container and store in cool, dry place to age for several days.


I'm a self taught cook, candymaker, baker, etc..

 

I thought I already made a thread to this effect?

Many references to 'my wife'.
You don't celebrate Valentine's Day with your wife. You celebrate with your LOVER !! Or that's what we Antipodean drongos do anyway. (I sense a food stamp/ Bush Tucker kind of dialogue coming up here)
I will celebrate with a ritual goat slaying and fry up, a walk on the beach, a swim, merlot and mating.

 

For me they're one and the same....

 

Of course dear...
Paraphrased - tis implicit you ridiculous boor (not bore). I hope your wifey enjoys her single rose wrapped in cellophane, her box of chocolates and her Hallmark card. You passionate beast, you. Your imagination leaves us just flailing in your wake.

 

I plan nothing!
What is the meaning anyway?
To celebrate love some would say, but we do that anyway so we do not have to have a special day to do this.
It is a commerical holliday like mothersday has become.
It is a day where if you do not have someone to share it with, you are a sad lonely buger.

so i made chocolate truffles for her :shrug:
Unlike C1ay i used a standard ganache and coated them with crushed chocolate and\or cocoa powder.

 

aswell has going away for the weekend, we are having dinner tonight at a locla returant, that prides itself on doing really good romantic food.

 

Going to a fancy restaurant tonight.

 

That sounds like loads of fun. Except for the booze and pills part. I'd do that, except I can't get porn where I live, and I don't have a poop cannon.
