I’m trying to decide what I should make for my dad’s birthday dinner. It has to be extra special because his birthday is on Valentine’s day. I’m thinking of doing the stuffed manicotti dish but instead of the garlic chicken, doing lobster. My mouth is already watering!! I don’t know what I’ll make to go with it, with the exception of bread sticks. I guess I could just do some kind of salad because the stuffed manicotti is the main dish anyway! For something sweet, I’m thinking of doing that caramel cake, since he seemed to enjoy that so much (he ate almost an entire cake in about a day and a half)!

I think I’m going to make heart shaped fudge for my nephews and a heart shaped cake for my sister Nikki and her fiance. My dad has a key to her house, so I am thinking I’ll get it all together and set it all up for them on their dinning room table!

For my mom, who’s birthday is the day after Valentine’s day.. I’m thinking of doing something similar to my dad’s.. but just do the chicken because she’s not too big on the seafood thing. Cake-wise, I have no idea what I’ll do.

I need to figure out what to get them for gift-wise too. They’re both extremely hard to shop for because there’s really nothing they need and when you ask them what they “want”, it’s always “I can’t think of anything” or “Nothing”. haha! They make it so difficult!

My Valentine’s present = Canon Digital Rebel XTi (400d) and 50mm lens. Yay!

I should hop off of here though. I have a few things to do and then I’m heading to my mom’s for the night!
