Celebration Weekend: 6 yrs & V-day

Mike & I had a wonderful Friday night as we celebrated the 6 year anniversary of our very 1st date. We chose to venture in the snowy weather to the Ced-Rel Supper Club for dinner and it was quite the place- so old school with their complimentary appetizer tray, beef tenderloins & fried shrimp, bean pot, salad, baked potato and home baked rolls. They even brought us an ice cream sundae with cherry on top to share in honor of our special occasion.

We then checked out the Piano Lounge in downtown Cedar Rapids and enjoyed a few martinis while listening to some very entertaining dueling pianists.

Saturday morning I surprised the hubby with a Valentine's Day brunch of strawberry filled crepes, sausage & spinach egg strata with cheddar cheese, crispy hash browns & heart shaped chocolate chunk brownies and of course served with a beautiful mimosa (or 3).

Sunday the Suzy homemaker in me got down to work on making my largest to date pot of Vegetable Beef Soup- delicious and will provide quite a few leftovers for my soup-obsessed husband.
