Well, I will celebrate V-Day (Victoria Day - commemorating the
birthday of Queen Victoria) with some shepherd's pie and a dark ale.

Or did you mean Saint Valentine's Day? If that is the case, I will be
making some of my world famous bbq ribs with potato salad and some
white wine fir the wife and a cold Bud for me to accompany the meal.
For dessert more than likely it will be a peach cobbler with a big
scoop vanilla bean ice cream on top.

LOL
In this part of the commonwealth Victoria Day is the Monday closes to the
May 24. There is the odd fireworks display, but the most common way of
celebrating is to go to some sort of outdoor party and drink a lot. They
usually drink beer, and beer come in cases of 24, so when someone talks
about the May 2-4 weekend, it's about the beer not about some old queen
form another country.

We don't celebrate Valentine's day, so probably nothing special,
sorry. I do love reading other people's stuff about it, though.

I'm doing stuffed pork loin chops with wild rice pilaf, and cherry pie
with hearts cut into the lattice top for dessert.

David took me to dinner at the Udupi Cafe in Columbia Heights (for those in
the twin cities). We ate our fill of southern Indian food and split a bottle
of wine (of course he gave me more than he had...think he's trying to get me
drunk or soemthing...)

the place was so crowded and they were SO UNPREPARED that they actually
stopped allowing people in. I'd never seen the place so crowded. It took
forever to get our food, but when we got it it was delicious.

I'm going to let my belly settle a bit then we will commence with our evening.

Hospital food. My wife shared her dinner with me. Rice, peas, and
something we assumed was chicken in a broth like substance.

Happened to us one Valentine's Day years ago. It's why I make it a
point to not go out to dinner on 2/14.

I had pb&honey with juice and some grapes alongside my Mom
who was eating the hospital's idea of a good dinner. We did have
some good chocolate to finish the meal, and held hands until the
nurse came in for the nightly meds.

DH gave me a big hug and kisses when I got home, tho, so the day
did have it's good times.

What's a romano bean? I know romano cheese, similar to a parmesan.

Sorry, sorry, it's called ROMAN bean. I got carried away on the spelling.
I bought these because they are one the three beans used in their canned
bean salad ($1.29, probably a 28 oz. can.)
The TJ bean salad in a can is excellent.

The fourth one.


Dry Roman Beans
A favorite of Dominicans, Colombians, Haitians, and of course Italians.

Many recipes
http://www.cooks.com/rec/search/0,1-..._beans,FF.html


Product Description on amazon for Goya:
Dry roman beans are slightly rosier than pinto beans. A delicious source of
iron and protein, use these roman beans in chili, soups, and salads. Boil
and blend with seasonings to make a dip.

HTH,
Dee Dee

Huh! I've actually heard of roman beans, but I was thinking they were
some variety of a green bean/long bean. I'll hafta look for em.

I think I, like most of the people there, assumed this place would not be
busy. They'd been shut down on immigration issues (or so the notification
said) and had just reopened on the third, so a lot of people showed up to
celebrate and to have valentines dinner. We chose it over Marina's since
Marina's doesn't serve liquor.

We saw that on our way up to dinner. Two different White Castles with dimmed
lights and candles and heart balloons. The places were packed!

The DH refuses to let Hallmark, et al, dictate when he woos his
sweetie (that'd be me), so we celebrate St. Catherine de Rici (sp?)
Day on Feb. 13. Uh, huh - he's a lawyer, so this would be a lawyerly
parsing of hairs, as it were.
