I am "that" guy that always waits till the last minute on Valentine's Day. Any ideas on dinner out with the missus and/or other ideas that will not break the bank? Thanks!

    I'm soooo not a VD person! I don't think that I need merchants to tell me when/how to show my love for somebody. Too many crappy, overpriced menus (a la NYE).

    Speaking as a woman, I'd truly MUCH rather have something thoughtful (and I don't mean just a card!) like bringing in my favorite foods (wine, cheese, meat and bread would do it for me) and some pampering of some kind.

    i second the bringing something in idea-personally, I am buying this meal for myself and my husband and having it at home:

    Okay - that is pretty awesome! Has anyone done that before? How is there food?

    Can you cook? If not, are you willing to try? I think a home-cooked meal would speak volumes, especially if you're not usually much of a cook. It would show that you care so much that you'd go that extra mile. Women love men who cook for them :D

    Be sure to buy your ingredients at the Park Slop Food Co-op.

    yes-cooking your wife dinner is a nice idea-but ONLY if you already know how to cook. Trust me-making the fancy Valentine's Day dinner your first shot at cooking isn't going to go over well-LOL!

    So-if you can cook-go for it-if you can't-bring in a fancy meal. As for Luscious Foods-I haven't tried them yet-but a very good friend of mine gets food from there all the time and says it is yummy-so, I am gonna give it a shot.

    Just ordered it and was taken care of very nicely by the woman on the phone. Looking forward to it. Thanks for the heads up Nishi621!
