Valentine's Day is also my wedding anniversary. Took my wife to Ruth's Chris in Chicago.

Carpaccio, Ceasar salad, 22 oz. ribeye (barely scared the cow as it passed over the grill), sweet potatoes with pecans, and bread pudding with Whiskey sauce. Along with a nice bottle of some kind of red wine my wife picked out and we shared.

Grandma wore out the kids for us, so they went to bed right away when we got home...

Oh, yeah.

I made my beautiful wife-to-be chicken marsala - sweet marsala and mushroom sauce that I love - and garlic bread, with a nice bottle of Penfolds 407 Cabernet Sauvignon. And grandma's recipe Tapioca pudding for dessert. Then a warm bath and guitar music to end the night.

I save my cigars for nights when I don't have to snuggle - she doesn't like the smell in my beard.
