Do you have a recipe for these pork chops?

Are you 16, 17 maybe?! Please tell us that isn't all you are planing on.

No, I’m wayyyyyy past the age where gestures on Valentine’s Day matter in my romantic relationship: I feel deeply loved and valued every day. An evening with my beau and his beloved family (whose company I also enjoy) is fine with me. If it makes you feel better about my situation, we had amazing sex early this morning and will do so again tonight.

Hmm having to downplay and be condescending to others to feel better about your relationship is not a convincing strategy. In fact, it sounds like your trying to convince yourself how happy you are with this arrangement. I do hope you enjoyed your family gathering.

NP here. It seems like there’s a bunch of posters here being rude to OP because she’s spending the day with her new guy, his kids, and his parents. Sounds like she’s possibly dating again after a divorce. Kudos to you, OP.

Not everyone considers Valentine’s Day a big deal.

No i think the op is right. You can have private time later. Family is important.

I actually don't think there's anything wrong with her wanting to spend time with his family. It's the " so above it all attitude" that is pathetic. and makes it seems that she's actually not content doing what she claims she is.

And if she's truly happy with her arrangment she wouldn't feel the need to jutify it or take a swipe at people who do enjoy celebrating valentine's day.

I’m sorry, PP. Hugs.

She was responding to the moronic “Are you 16?!” comment, which was essentially asking her to justify her plans. So...yeah.

Certainly!

6 boneless pork chops

12 slices of bacon you want the large thick slices to get a good wrap

Preheat oven to 350 you can also do 425, but I find the lower temp leads to juicer chops
pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder, or your favorite steak seasoning I use McCormick grill mates. and sometimes Mrs. Dash. I'm not fancy. season pork chops to taste.

Wrap pork chops in bacon

Bake on baking sheet lined with parchment paper for 15 minutes each each side.

And my point still stands, you don't defeat a clown by becoming one yourself.

Literally nothing. He is visiting family (in a covid safe way). Well I’m the one who told him to go because this was the one weekend he could swing it with work and he has been missing them a ton, so maybe letting him go is my gift to him.

You’re taking other people’s feelings about Valentine’s Day way too personally. Hope you have a good night, truly 💕

I made a special breakfast, we went back to bed for a nap and watched a movie, he’s at work now, I’ll get sex when he gets home tonight.

I’m cooking his favorite dinner then later tonight I’m going to take a luxurious perfumed bath and he will shower and shave and then I will be ready and available for anything. I love that it’s on a Sunday night.

That sounds amazing. Thank you PP. MY DH’s birthday is this week and I think he would love this.

After a quick, dry, "Happy Valentines Day" this morning it was a busy day of breakfast for the family, started on the taxes (almost done) before lunch for everyone, laundry, tidying, a workout and a walk before getting a nice dinner ready. I haven't even been physically touched yet. It's just a regular day here.

We don’t celebrate, we are in the camp of “V-Day is bullshit”.
