I may be hosting my boyfriend's vegetarian parents this year so I'm eyeing that acorn squash lasagna!

Indian currys. If I have meat, I'll add it - if not there's no flavor lost if you replace the meat with beans.
i also make mushroom with the meat from just one or two sausages. the mushrooms provide most of the meatiness but I like the flavor that sweet italian sausage gives.

Ham, mayo, mustard and a fried egg on top.

salty & chocolatey! chocolate covered preztel sticks or potato chips definitely!

Porterhouse!

i personally love the himym blogging here! but i hope ted's not riding njtransit in the lower right image - it doesn't look anything like that.

I actually like this show a lot. Ted was always my favorite queer eye guy and appreciate the scientific approach to food things. Plus it helped end a long debate with my boyfriend about baking soda's deodorizing qualities. (I lost, but at least we know now!)

Bill Clinton did submit an oatmeal cookie recipe!

Cooking at home is the way to go! Even if it's not cooking and just a bunch of cheeses, meats, and olives. The biggest thing about Valentine's Day for us is being able to set the evening aside for just us - no tv, computers, or phones, or anyone else. No matter how much people say that if you love someone you should be able to do that anytime - doing this is hard for busy people and it's nice to have a day where it's a given.

I roast it with a couple of garlic cloves and then I have roasted cauliflower and garlic to toss with fresh pasta, good olive oil, and a pinch of red pepper flakes - my favorite winter meal. I made a bacon/cauliflower soup for Christmas with a trickle of truffle oil on top and it was a huge hit.

i love marinated skirt steak in fajitas!

I actually like chuck because I love a good beef bourguignon made with one full bottle of wine.

In India a lot of women use turmeric to brighten complexions and add glow. Simply make a paste out of turmeric and water and apply to your face, wait until it hardens and then rinse it off with warm water. In Indian wedding celebrations they usually have a pre-wedding haldi (turmeric) ceremony where they bride's family applies the turmeric paste to face, arms, and legs to beautify her for the big day. It usually turns kinda rowdy and the bride-to-be ends up doused in the yellow paste.
