Stay at home, cook and make drinks
For food, a few days before V-day, decide what you'd BOTH like to make and you both go to the store to buy the ingredients, I might dabble in trying to make my mum's version of Jollof rice, and my boyfriend might convince me to make lamb curry. This recipe for potatoes is a crowd pleaser and goes well with this amazing wings or you could opt for Italian? (Click for recipes). For drinks may I suggest Moscow Mule, my sister makes the best I've ever had (recipe below) or get your favorite wine, I'm really loving this wine, and just relax!
Moscow Mule -
Vodka (Tito's or Ciroc)
Blueberry Syrup - 1 cup fresh/frozen blueberries
1/4 cup of water
1 tablespoon sugar or to your taste
Ginger Beer (the best brand is Fever Tree brand)
Juice of Lime/Lemon
Make the blueberry syrup first by bringing the water to a boil/
Add the blueberries and let it boil for about 5-10 mins (depending on if they are fresh or frozen)/
Add sugar/

Once thick and to your desired taste, sieve into a bowl/bottle and chill/
Mix Vodka, Ginger and juice of Lime/Lemon in a bowl/

Mix and Drink!
