        Valentines Day and Dinner For Two   For Valentines Day this year present your sweetheart with an unexpected pleasure. How about an overnight stay in a first-class hotel that boasts a Jacuzzi in the room? Order room service for two complete with a chocolaty sweet for dessert. Not in your budget? Maybe you could take your honey out to a romantic restaurant you have never been to before. Do
        you like to give your sweetheart roses for Valentines Day? This year
        have the flowers delivered to him or her at work or at home. What a
        pleasant surprise to be greeted with a dozen roses or carnations from
        the one you love. Here
        are a few things you can do that are a bit easier on the budget. Arrive
        home early from work on Valentines Day and prepare a special home cooked
        dinner for two. For dessert you can buy a heart shaped chocolate cake,
        or buy the heart pans and bake your own cake or pan cookie.  How
        about creating your own custom coupon booklet? Make five to ten coupons
        with treats and special things that your honey enjoys. What enjoyable
        things do they like? Backrubs, foot rubs, etc. What is their favorite
        restaurant? Treat them to their favorite place to eat, or to their
        favorite sports event. Get creative and share yourself and time with
        your loved one. Coupon booklets are a great way to show your love.  Instead
        of buying a generic Valentines card with imitation verse written inside
        that you didn't even write, get creative and make your sweetie a
        homemade card on your computer. Here is an idea I just thought of. Add a
        special photo with you and your honey in it, scan it into the computer
        and add it to your card.  Express
        yourself and tell your significant other how much they mean to you. 
         I'm
        leaving you with a romantic dinner idea for two. This classic Italian
        dish is not only easy to prepare, but delicious as well. 
        Spaghetti Carbonara is bacon and eggs with spaghetti. There are
        many variations of this dish, but this is my husband's favorite. 
         INGREIDIENTS 1
        to 1-1/2 lbs Pasta   Bring
        a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8
        to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain. Meanwhile cook bacon until
        browned. Drain bacon fat. In large Pasta bowl add the four egg yolks,
        Parmesan cheese, pepper, and whipping crème. Add hot spaghetti and
        bacon to the bowl and stir. Salt to taste. Add additional Parmesan
        cheese to individual plates. Serve with a hot loaf of Italian bread and
        salad.  Enjoy!  Like
