Valentines

I didn't get my hopes up. I love my husband, but he's not one to go big on gifts. I was delightfully surprised when I got home from work Friday night that he got me not only a card, but a heart shaped tin full of LINDT truffles AND a big Toblerone that looked like it had long stem roses on it.

Beyond that there wasn't a lot of excitement for Valentines day around here. I was sooooooo happy to have the whole weekend off. We just spent time together, and it was awesome. We enjoyed the nice weather and took a walk, played some very competitive wii, and enjoyed my take on Armadillo eggs.

Last weekend we did have a big busy weekend. Hit up a gun show, Texas independence battle monument, and had the most wonderful creation ever, Armadillo Eggs down by the ocean. At the restaurant they stuffed Jalepenos with chopped bbq brisket battered them, and fried them up.

For Valentines I made John Paul sort of the same thing. Jalapenos stuffed with chopped brisket, but I wrapped them in cresent rolls and baked them. The grease soaked the areas where I didn't get a good seal on the rolls, but man they were awesome. I'm not a big jalapeno fan, so I made a few just bbq pockets, which were AMAZING as well!

Other than that Valentines was spent at church (sitting with people I knew and who asked to do lunch this week!!!!!!) washing the truck, and enjoying the sunshine. I sat in my awesome zero gravity lounge chair, soaked up the sun and read. The weekend was full of bliss, but not much to report lol!

Hope you feel loved this week!

sounds like a good exciting time. Those stuffed jalepenos sound delicious. I need to try making some.
