Stay Home Valentine's Day 家裡的情人節

I'm scared of going out on holidays - everywhere is crowded, booked out and double the price. To me Valentine's day is best spent in the private and comfortable environment of home, with scented candles and favourite tunes, a nice bottle of old wine for a simple, loving meal, teasing each other's toes under the table during dessert, then finish with a long bath with Champagne.

節日的時候我是懼怕上街的：所有的地方都擠滿了人，位置全部被訂滿然後價格也雙倍上漲。情人節的時候最好是兩人留在舒服的家裡，跟著私人珍藏的音樂點起香氛蠟燭，一瓶好酒來配一桌簡單而充滿愛的晚餐，吃甜品時桌下兩人腳丫相觸，最後用香檳泡泡浴來畫上句號。

Peaches with whiskey syrup,  a last minute recipe I found on the net worked exceptionally well with the rest of the meal, carries the warmth into the last course, the vanilla iceream is a must for Valentine's. Would go well with red Port.
