Valentine's Day fun and flops.

This was our first Valentines day as a married couple. The day began with me waking up early to write my sweet wife a love note only to see that she was awake when I went to place it on the kitchen table. I was hoping she might still be asleep so that I could make breakfast cake for her. But we had fun cooking it together and dancing in the kitchen. She then sequestered me to our bedroom while she put together love notes coupled with Hershey's Cookies and Cream Kisses all over the condo. I looked forward to reading her notes, so I quickly scarfed down the wonderful breakfast cake she and I made. Eating the food that fast gave me a stomach ache, but that went away shortly. We had a wonderful day just being together and not having to go out in the snow.
Christine was so sweet all day. She planned to make me quiche for dinner. She even had a tablecloth and candle for the table. Quiche is cooked in two stages - or at least this quiche is. She cooks a hashbrown crust, and then we put in the yummy quiche part. Christine was quietly cooking me dinner, when all of a sudden she screamed out in obvious pain. I quickly ran into the kitchen to see what the matter was. She had forgotten that the glass pan was hot from cooking the crust and had not put on the oven mitts. I felt so bad for her as she had been so nice to me all day and now she had burned the thumb, index and middle finger of both her hands. So I took care of the rest of the dinner preparation - setting the table and pulling the quiche out of the oven. So to make juice from lemons we saw an opportunity and I ended up feeding Christine for dinner.
So I served her some food, and then placed some on my plate. She then suggested that I move around to the side of the table so that I could help her out and eat too. So I got up and went to pick up the quiche. I remembered gloves - because 4 burned hands would not be fun. When I picked up the quiche I went to move the hot pad it was sitting on and the quiche became unbalanced in my left hand and down it went - all over the floor. I didn't know how to react - it was one of those moments where you want to laugh and cry at the same time. Fortunately, I had already served some of the quiche so we didn't lose it all and we still managed to have a great Valentines. Looking back we'll have a good laugh at the flops and remember the fun.
P.S. Christine's fingers are doing okay now. She has a few blisters on her thumbs and middle fingers.
P.P.S Ironically, I got Christine handwarmers for Valentine's day - because her hands are always cold and I thought I would give her warm hands when I couldn't be around. ( I also got her chocolates.)
