When I first meet DH 13 years ago on Feb 11th and I asked him what he was doing for Valentines Day, he informed me that any gal of his, would know she was loved daily and would not need Valentines Day to show her this.. Have to say that he has done a very good job of this.. We had our fancy lunch out on sunday, heading to a local farm that offered a sunday menu that changes with the season’s, they raise fowl, and pork along with a number of garden and greens.. The menu changes each sunday (the only day its open) and by season, you have a choice of three starters, three mains or three desserts, plus tea, coffee, with all the fresh baked bread you could want.
Farmgal had these choices for her 3 course meal..
That lovely starter is farm raised made on the site foie gras, The main course was a stunning slow roasted over a wood fire on site farm raised Guinea Fowl with roasted root veggies/ mashed and pickled purple cabbage.. The skin on this peice of bird was sheer perfection, and Guinea has a taste like no other bird, it is simple its own flavour..
Dessert was a stunningly rich fresh goat cheese mouse with mixed berry sauce, with homemade maple (from their tree’s of course) topping.. Yum!!!!
Dear Hubbies, Starter was Salad, it was a mix of different salad greens, Apple, mapled nuts, old aged sheep cheese, with a pickled egg sliced on top, with a vinager based dressing, It would have been better with a creamy/sweet dressing but that’s just us showing our Western roots 🙂
His main course was a pulled pork sandwhich, it was on fire baked rye bread, with their farm pasture hertiage raised pork, cabbage salad, baked beans and a slash of soft fresh goat cheese.. 
For dessert, he choose the fresh fruit bun, it has dried cranberries, Cherries, walnuts, with a pat of butter in the middle and smothered in brown sugar sauce, he declared it a 6 out of 5..
So, what did you and your loved ones have at your special meal?? Be it homemade or dining out matters not to me.. Dish on what was on your plate :)!
Just another Day on the Farm 
Dear Farmgal, I look forward to your posts every day, they’re so interesting. Your Valentine’s lunch sounds scrumptious! Happy Valentine’s Day. Love Auntie C
Happy Valentine’s Day, you lucky FarmGal you! Your Sunday luncheon out sounds ab fab from start to finish. Though I’ve gotta admit that DH’s Chelsea Bun with fruit has my total attention; ) Probably ’cause it looks, and from your description tastes, just like the ones that Grandpa W used to make. Hm, mm that’s given me an idea… Gotta go! xo D.
Well, I don’t have a “sweetheart”…but I spent today with my father 🙂 🙂 We’re just having simple hamburgers today. He loves hamburgers. Your Valentine’s Dinner sounds fantastic!!!!! Happy VAlentine’s Day. Love and hugs from the ocean shores of CAlifornia, Heather 🙂
I made homemade mushroom soup, with crusty bread and a beet and sprout slaw. (Yeah we’re that exciting.) We do have a fancy dinner out planned but can’t seem to pick a date that works with both our schedules at the moment. Maybe that’ll happen before my birthday (in March)
About as exciting as our tomato soup? 😛
I asked Mr D “So are we doing anything?” He looked at me blankly and said, “Since when do we pay attention to these commercial holidays?” So no, we didn’t do anything. 😛 We had cheesy macaroni and meatballs for lunch, and homemade tomato soup for supper – not nearly as exciting and gourmet as your meal! 🙂
Thanks girls for all your comments, we don’t often go out for meals in the first place, but when we do go out for something as special as giving thanks for the date that we meet, I enjoy marking that with some wonderful couple time and great food..
Hmmm, Fresh mushroom soup, that sounds wonderful, I love mushroom soup, think I will put that on the menu for this week!
Heather, so nice that you could spend your day with family, I wish I lived closer to mine most days, I was able to call but it would have been nice to have got to see them in person and give a hug and share a meal..
That all looks so good!
