My sister over at Little Family Blessings had posted a little while ago about one of the gifts she'd given her husband for his birthday, the "Passport to Love" created by the Dating Divas. It's basically 12 home date nights, one for every month, where you "travel" to a different country and have a home date night themed around that country. I decided it would be fun to put together my own Passport to Love to give to Zenith "just because" and gave it to him last night.
The "kit" includes printouts to make your own passport, plane tickets, card, and travel itinerary.
August's destination?
England!
The night's entertainment being a few episodes of BBC's "Yes Minister," which I just ordered and got in the mail yesterday.
On the menu was Spinach Potato Pie with tomatoes (because everything these days has tomatoes in it since we're drowning in them from the garden :P)
I love lanterns and kerosene lamps so I have a few that I've collected that I was able to get out and light up around the room to really make it seem authentic.
Dessert? Why, I'm glad you asked. I finally succeeded at making a decent gluten-free pie! This peach pie was really delicious and definitely a recipe worth saving. The crust was flaky and buttery, and the pie itself held together very well. Nothing beats fresh fruit, in-season pies.
Are you drooling yet?
How about now? ;)
It was a really fun night. We felt like a couple kids playing "house" in an old English tavern. Next month's destination is France so we'll see what I can come up for that one! Dating your spouse is so important and doesn't have to be expensive. You don't even have to leave your living room to travel the world together! :)
Here are just a few shots from this morning of William helping Daddy vacuum the apartment. He's a very helpful little man...just like his Daddy. :)
Have a great weekend!
