Just wanted to add a quick addendum to the Valentine's post. Patrick and I were discussing our dinners during the evening and thought maybe we hadn't eaten Spinach Manicotti last year. So I did a little research today and realized he was right! Buttt it was still manicotti just not spinach. It was a
beef manicotti inspired by Giuliana and Bill Rancic. Next year we'll have to experiment more.
I thought I would share our tablesetting from last night.

We enjoyed a nice candlelit dinner. Patrick takes all the credit for the gorgeous floral centerpiece. |

I served our meal on the occupied Japan china set Granny and Poppa gave me last year for Christmas. We had such fun enjoying our coffee with cups and saucers. |

If this is in fact a follow-up Valentine's post then there has to be some love somewhere, right?! So I'll share with you a snapshot Patrick took while we visited home. It's Harri and Pebbles! The love might be a little one-sided though. |
This could be in a magazine - beautiful flowers, elegant china, adorable cats, and a wonderful occasion!!
