This Valentine’s Day, I wanted to do something special for my daughter, husband, and parents.
I bought flowers for Mom.I got these beautiful flowers from my husband.I found these cute food-related Valentine’s Day cards and had my daughter draw on them and give them to family members and her teachers.I bought these cute cards for Maxine’s classmates. I had to nix the strawberry-scented erasers because they were a little small for the kids.My daughter’s new favorite show is Octonauts, so I bought her a set of figurines and a dish set.Chocolates were a must for my parents and my husband. The way to my heart, and my family’s heart, is through seafood. 😆 I bought 10 lbs of crawfish from the Louisiana Crawfish Company. They came alive and kicking! I gave them a good wash and then cooked them. It was an amazing meal and a great ending to the night.
Like most holiday weekends, this past weekend just came and went. It was a low-key one, but I prefer low-key these days.
Friday, I got the best type of delivery. Crawfish!
10lbs of crawfish, to be exact, and they were still kicking.I made them nice and spicy for Andrew and me.I made them plain for Mom and Dad.In terms of entertainment, I finally watched Turning Red. It had its cringy moments for sure, but it was super cute.Saturday, I picked a bunch of goodies up. “A Place at the Table” was a curated box of desserts made by home bakers and professional chefs to honor Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. Everything was delicious.On Memorial Day, Andrew and I enjoyed a local street fair.I had an overpriced lobster roll, but I had to have it.I found a vendor who made fruity drinks… with some alcohol and gave a free refill 🙌.Bad Habits was giving away free sushi samples. Overall, pretty awesome weekend. Looking forward to what this summer will bring.
