We had a really low-key Valentine's Day this year: a movie, a long walk through town, and takeout pizza. I talked D out of his traditional pilgrimage of panic to the supermarket, meaning we got to sleep in and then wander over to the farmer's market.
This picture below is from a different Saturday- yesterday was a warm, gorgeous day and the market was full of people. The booths were stocked with colorful potatoes, local apples, freshly-baked bagels, drinking vinegars and vodka, organic greens like watercress, parsley, and kale. It was love at first taste when I tried a goat cheese called Sweet Fire: goat milk + marionberry preserves + habanero pepper. Sweetness followed by flame, SO good!
You know what's even more entertaining than dressing up and going out on a holiday like this? Walking by a row of restaurants and observing all the couples who dressed up and went out. The fancy white-tableclothed places are the best for people watching, because the couples are either nervously getting through their first V-day together or have been together so long that every single interaction is performed with a practiced grace.
As we were walking home, the sky gave us the best romantic sunset ever:
Happy (Belated) Valentine's Day! How did you celebrate the day?
