What are doing for hubby for Valentine's Day?
I know I'm early to be thinking about this, but I'm having trouble this year. I was planning on making a nice dinner and possibly dessert (MH is really not a sweets fan).
What do you normally do?

Re: What are doing for hubby for Valentine's Day?
In the past couple of years, we've gone out for dinner, but as V-Day is on a Monday this year, I'm feeling less than enthused. The weekend before, I'm going to attempt to recreate our wedding cake though! I finally tracked down some passionfruit puree from a Latin grocery store, and I'm going to use Aubrey's recipe for buttercream!
Realistically, it's probably going to be a total disaster, but it'll be fun trying it out!
What I desperately need help with right now is a birthday present for my husband - it's on the 31st, and I have NO idea what to get him this year.

That does sound fun!!!
Good luck with that one! I would probably ruin it myself for sure 
I had the hardest luck with MH birthday this year. His falls on Dec 21st and I sadly didn't go over and beyond for it, I felt bad.

caia - wow! Your siggy pic is amazing! I want to see more.
OP - I don't know what we're doing. 2011 has not been good. DH has had medical issues since Dec, so the new year did not start right. If he gets back to normal, I would love to have a whole Valentine's weekend!

Ahh, indeed. It's too bad all the things I love: over easy eggs, eggs benedict, medium rare steaks, uhhh, hello SUSHI!!! are all "bad." Boooooooo.
Oh dear, yeah. To be honest I am scared! o_0

What?!? These are the things I never thought about...I might have to re-think getting preggers :P I'm like you...easy over eggs, medium rare steak, sushi. Ahhh...I knew about the sushi but didn't realize I'd have to give up my runny eggs and bloody steak too!
As for V-day, I've never been a big fan and haven't really celebrated. We were going to try and go out one year, but the restaurants were packed and the menus were limited (they only offer their special V-day menu), so we decided to just cook steak and lobster at home. We'll probably do something similar this year. It hasn't been a good 2011 healthwise for us either, so we'll just take it easy. Plus my 30th birthday is coming up next week followed by our first year anniversary and then V-day...no plans for any of that yet, so we'll see. I'd love to hear what others are doing
we usually go to MH's company crab feed which is that weekend. er.. it's a crab feed that one of their clients throws. although this yeasr because it's so close to the date, we may not go.
otherwise, we usually don't celebrate. we find it's too much pressure on one day... so we make sure to have special weekends away throughout the year instead.
hawaii 10.2008 plan ;P married bio ???
Haha, yup! It's terrible. Scrambled just doesn't compare.

We usually will stay and home cook. I might get lucky and dh may make one our favouirtes dishes, that we rarely have. He is really great cook, just wish he did it a little more often.
I have already gotten his gift. He already has the Seasons 1 to 6 of the original Hawaii Five-O. Then I just ordered him the remaining seasons 7 to 10 from amazon, to complete his dvd library. He loves sweets so I will include his favouirte M&M's and those Kinder Egg Surprise with the toy inside
