Happy Valentine's Day!

Had a lovely surprise this morning, Mr Shy Guy got up early and made me breakfast -he's on holidays at the moment and I usually nudge him a bit when I wake up just coz it's so not fair he gets to sleep in!

Breakfast was great, I'm usually pressing the snooze button half a dozen times in the morning before finally rolling out of bed which leaves me with exactly 20 mins to shower and get out of the house. Never really have time for a cup of coffee even, much less breakfast.
But this was great! Maybe I should get more earlier more......if breakfast was being made for me everyday.

I contemplated on going out for dinner, but seeing signs on the restaurants around time advertising Vday dinner, usually $99 per person. *eeks* I don't think so....





So for tonight, I decided to try a Lemon
& Dill Butter Seared Scallops dish I saw
on my new Epicurious app. It even added a shopping list for me.

Alongside I made a variation of Ms G's Corn on the cob with parmesean and lime (totally forgot about the mayo) but it was great regardless. I could do with another cob.

Just to make it appear healthy and colourful, needed some greens. so there was a pear and walnut salad.

Last but not least, fresh bread with Alio's 25 year old Balsamic Vinegar and olive oil. I could just driiink that vinegar, the dark glossy thick syrup that coats my bread is definitely the star of the show.

All in all a lovely Vday with Mr Shy Guy :)
