Fellow Baldies ...
What are you getting your significant other for Valentines Day?
I bought my wife a bottle of her favorite perfume. This year I actually prepared ahead of time instead of scrambling at the last minute.

White Zin?
Mel mi amigo, if you want to impress the wife, ya gotta do better than the KoolAid. Maybe a nice Pinot Noir. Or, if you are cooking spicy food and can find it, get a Tempranillo. It's a spanish grape that has a nice flavor. For dessert, try a late harvest zin. It's not a sweet as a port, but goes great with chocolate.
We're doing a family night and the Lovely Mrs. Schro and I will probably do something else on another night (reservations and baby sitters are tough to find on V-Day). I enjoy cooking so I'll probably
BBQ a big ol' london broil with a gorgonzola cream sauce
some sauteed garlic shrimp for an appetizer
spinach salad
twice baked potatoes
sourdough rolls.
Dinner will likely be paired with "Earthquake Syrah" from the Michael David Phillips winery. Kick Azz wine (Gold Medal)
Oh, I plan on making homemade flan for dessert.
Yeah, I'm the man.

schro, what time is dinner?
I hate Valentines day.
I feel like I need to perform like a seal just because there is an abritrary day put on the calendar.

Stu, I feel the same way....and the Lovely Mrs. Schro knows I hate this day too (told her as much when we first met 15 yrs ago).
A couple of days ago, I shot off an email to a couple of buddies suggesting we go out drinking on Feb. 14th. One of them (who is married to a complete douche bag) replied: "Oh Feb. 14th, you mean Valentine's Day? That day where men are expected to go out of their way, jump through hoops, and put on the happy face all for a f**kin' card....if you're lucky"?
Yeah, he's a bitter man.
