Valentines Day had taken me surprise me this year, so unusually nothing was prepared, ordered or purchased.
Rather than rush out and buy anything, a decision was made to have a hand-made Valentines Day, right from the decorations through to the card and meal.
Paper heart decorations, they look great hanging from string in the window.
Hand drawn and painted card. I’m not an artist but i do love a bit of paint, glue and esapecially glitter
A mamouth Lasagne made with lashing of cheese, red wine & a spoonful of Marmite for richness and flavour.
Now for the tastiest bit….Chocolate truffle fondants, recipe from Dean Edwards shown on ITV Lorraine tv programme. Recipe at the end of this post
