Thought I'd share one of Dougs favorite stories of my cooking misadventures.........
He and I were in the local furniture store looking for a new stove/oven the salesman starts asking me all these questions about what kind of oven do I want and Yadda Yadda...I said talk to HIM and pointed to Doug!! Doug really wants a convection oven so he relays that to the salesman then asks the salesman if this particular oven would cook cardboard evenly??? The clerk looked at him abit dumbfounded and Doug pipes up, laughs and tells the clerk how the night before I put in a frozen pizza in the oven with the cardboard still under it and was wondering if this stove would of cook the cardboard evenly!!
Well hope you all have great meals planned out and have a wonderful Valentines Day!!

Great meal plan!!
Scott wants to go out for dinner,but I love having the romantic eat/love in thing...
Hopefully he'll change his mind!
Anyhow ttyl!
The caramelized apple crepes look fabulous1 Worth every hour you put into them I reckon!!
I agree, they look delicious and surely worth every minute of labor to create them. :)
The caramelized apples look amazing! I'm glad they turned out - and I love home made chicken fingers. I love to make them but I make hubby deep fry them. He says they make a big mess so I don't make them that often. :)
Very pretty. I meant to take a pic of the snickers tarts I made this weekend, but they were eaten before I had the chance :) I am going to have to get quicker.
Have a great Monday.

Sure does sound good! And the apple crepes look fabulous.
Hi there,
I stumbled onto your blog by looking at your Meal Plan Monday. I LOVE your layout/format!! Would you mind sharing how or where you got it?
Thanks. :0)
Your crepes look beautiful and I'm sure they tasted better with all the work you put in to them. I've never had fondue maybe I'll try it some time.
Wow, I'm totally impressed as crepes aren't something I've ever tried to make...too scary for me but boy do they look good. Yeah!!!

LOL! Tell your hubby that good things take time! ;) They really do look mouth-watering. :)
