Get ready for a lightning speed post!  The project that would NOT end snowballed into a total disaster last night.  While I furiously typed away, my amazing valentine made an awesome dinner.  All I was responsible for was setting the table!  Candlelight and yummy food in front of the TV – what could be better?

Casey made an Asian stir fry dish of tofu, peas, peppers, edamame, corn, and more.  It was AMAZING!

He made white jasmine rice with added flavor from COCONUT MILK – so good!

Check out that steam!

I worked into the wee hours of the night – my first all-nighter since my previous college days.  I am definitely TOO OLD to be doing that kind of thing this time around!  I finally went to bed at 3:30am, and felt delirious and confused when the alarm went off just an hour and a half later.  But finally, FINALLY – my menu is done!

I’m off to a new class today – Essentials of Dining Room – scary!  Definitely not the way I wanted to start a new class with a new teacher, running on one hour of sleep.  I am planning on drinking non-stop coffee and dreaming of 4pm when I can come home and crash.  I feel delirious!!

Wish me luck!
