Don't know yet, as we're going to dinner at a friend's house, so it's pot luck. We've known them for a while but only found out recently that the husband is T2. However, I gather that his wife wishes he was more controlled about his diet, so I'm under instruction from Mrs Hay-Char to set a good example. Tricky, because his wife's cooking is to die for, particularly in the lush puddings department.....

No 1 Son (Aged nearly 18) is doing dinner for his lovely girlfriend while we're out. He's reasonably handy in the kitchen but not a Cordon Bleu chef. Apparently he's doing Quesadillas, so I suspect he will be scouring the shelves at Sainsbury for the Old El Paso zone.

According to Farcebook, No 1 Daughter is going to Student Valentine Jagerbomb Frenzy Night* at a bar in Canterbury, so I don't think food will come into it, much :D

Its our wedding anniversary, we were going to go out for a meal but decided to stay in instead and order some Chinese food in and enjoy a few glasses of red wine.

We send each other cards and I get flowers, but otherwise it's just a normal day for us. As it's Saturday it will be fillet steak and all the trimmings and lashings of red wine.

Hubby has said he will cook us a nice meal. He trained as a chef but no longer works in this sector - he just cooks for me! :D I love fish and prawns so maybe he'll do a main course with that. I've also unearthed an Aldi Special Buys flyer that has some yummy looking Moser Roth Chocolate Pots in it as well as brandy and double cream. I will leave it strategically placed . . . . ;)
