For decades we scheduled fancy eat-outs for this special meal: no matter how well you know the owner nor booked ahead, there were always wait, busy, crowded, etc.
We were even thinking about the meal tonight while I cooked the breakfast this morning, but made up the mind on the last minute to eat at home.
Turns out very very nice: a true candle light dinner, best steak, tons of veg, endless wine, simple and delightful dessert, enjoy the whole family around, and a view of my new Valentine's Day gift :-)
