1st Valentine with Caleb

Today is Valentine's Day. My students gave me some things which I am really thankful for..









As for CT, he made for me a card and placed it in my bag the night before so that today when I opened my bag in the office, I saw the card. Of course, that made my day.

Came home earlier today to spend time with Caleb as well as to prepare a good dinner for my family.



Here's what I cooked!

The mussels were given to me by my mum as I loved to eat it and she had really big ones!


So I thought what a good time to cook this! It is 900 over grams of mussels (almost 1 kg!).



Here's how I marinated it...

I added white wine (compliments again by my mum as she has a wine cooler at her place with so many bottles of wine), garlic herb butter, chopped fresh garlic, as well as mozzarella cheese.



Another item for dinner was the Ramly Burger. I went to NTUC after school to buy minced chicken to make my own patties, bought hamburger bun as well..



Here's the patty wrapped in egg



And this is the outcome, topped with mayonaise and steak sauce


But how about the mussels? How did it turn out? Oooo..I was so happy it turned out so so so nice! Much better than restaurant's standard I must say! Haha..

I could taste the wine and the hot melted cheese when I bite into thick juicy mussel.


This was the amount of mussels I had..



I also made a salad to go with the dinner. Very sumptuous and yummy! Loved every part of it! We sat down together with Vicky and Caleb as we digged in..

Vicky and I drank up the rest of the white wine in the bottle



Here's our dinner


This is my portion..


Really had an enjoyable Valentine's Day. It def beats having to go out to restaurants that make use of this oppotunity to increase their prices and everything around you in the restaurant will look like some acting set where all the couples will be by themselves, with a rose and wine on the table. How cheesy.

Glad I could celebrate at home with CT and Caleb.
