I decided to fix a nice dinner for Rick for Valentine's. We don't really like to go out to eat on Valentine's Day because everyone else in town is out there and you wait and wait for your dinner. I had fun picking out what we would eat and how to surprise Rick and made most of the preparations on Saturday while he was at his office. I made him Coconut Cream Pie while he was out Home Teaching the day before Valentines and hid it in our refrigerator downstairs. He loves coconut so I thought that would be a great surprise. It was even made from scratch, something I haven't done forever. Here are a few pics of our Valentine's dinner on Monday night (with work, then picking Rick up and a quick errand to deliver something, dinner ended up not being done until 7:30 pm- so it was late anyway.... :) It was fun being creative in the kitchen!

Funny thing about the Whip Cream...after taking this picture and putting it in the refrigerator, the cream just fell flat and runny....still tasted great!
