I rifled through my old posts to see what I said on previous Valentine's Days. Not surprisingly, I said nothing, since I don't celebrate it in a typical way. But I did find something relevant in the files. Two years ago, my husband and I were in the Middle East, having going-away drinks with our manager on a project there. The guy gave us some great marriage advice over multiple beers in the lounge of a Western hotel. At the time, we had been married two months. Today, back in Los Angeles, it has been two years and two months, and I am just as eager to have dinner with the hubs tonight as I was then; giddy, excited, and hopeful he will be excited, too. I'm making Manifest Vegan's Bulgogi-style tofu, which has been marinating since last night. No, I'm not a vegan. I'm a killer recipe lover.
Read the old post here back when Burwell General Store was called Our Other Car Is A Camel. All those posts are now tagged on this blog as UAE, if you're interested in reading some Dubai adventures.
Whether you celebrate this day or not, it's always a good thing when you stop for a moment to think about and honor those who you cherish. Love to all of you!
