It is very important to Aly that we have chocolate covered strawberries every year for Valentine's Day. Daddy was so thoughtful that the Friday before Valentine's he had a package of chocolate covered strawberries from Sharis Berries sent to us. You have to eat them within 48 hours according to package directions so we had them finished before Valentine's Day. Besides, I hate to say this but our home made chocolate covered strawberries are much better! Sharis Berries have beautiful presentation but their chocolate tastes waxy. They probably have to for preservative reasons!
Here is a picture of my home made strawberries! Maybe next year I can put more effort in and make the presentation look better. It would be fun to make white chocolate drizzles and such! Hubby made the delicious steak and lobster tail! I know this may sound stuck up but we don't go out to dinner much. We find that we cook meals just as good, if not better at home. Besides it is way cheaper! The steak and lobster dinner costs about $15 each. That same meal with as large of lobster tails and big steaks that we had would be a $50 dinner each in a nice restaurant.
Taking a family of 5 out to dinner is too expensive anyway. We pretty much can only afford Chilis or Carrows. We sure can eat much better at home.
