Here’s wishing that all of you who may have an amorous inclination with someone were able to enjoy a Happy Valentine’s Day yesterday. With so many distractions and violence which permeate the world around us, it’s healthy – both mentally and physically – to take a special few hours of uninterrupted time with the one(s) in your life whom you love.
Priscille and I enjoyed such an evening to celebrate a union that’s managed to stay afloat, despite all the events in our lives which, at one time or another could have easily resulted in catastrophe for our relationship.
Don’t ask me what the secret is, because I don’t have the answer; but, if I had to venture a guess, I’d say that it has much more to do with her blessed tolerance than anything else that I might have contributed to this lifelong affair.
We celebrated Saint Valentine’s Day by going to one of the excellent restaurants within a mile of each other along a stretch of the 202/206 corridor – this time at Luna Rossa, in The Courtyards at Pluckemin. It’s a moderately priced BYOW establishment with excellent service and very good Italian fare.
Last evening, we selected a Portobello appetizer, followed by an entrée of grilled salmon served over a generous portion of spinach flavored with a hint of olive oil. We lingered over good food and a conversation of equally good memories for two hours, with no rush by the wait staff.
I won’t even begin to tell you about that super-rich dessert served with full-flavored espresso coffee.
Before you get the wrong impression, I should emphasize that we don’t like to go out eating very often (far too many calories which can lead to extra unneeded pounds). But, when we do, we like to make a night of it and enjoy.
I hope that you had a good weekend with your own valentine. God knows you deserve it. Thanks for reading, and take care of yourselves.
