[Former Lancastrian]

CBSA showing the love here. How sweet they flew him home on Valentines Day and to meet up possibly with his sweetie in Jamaica.

That's a shame for the single women of Surrey - he looked like quite the catch!!

The Mounties have the reputation for always getting their man but it seems that the CBSA may be exploiting Valentine's Day to get theirs!

Well we are in the business of reuniting family members willing or not

I never play these games with my husband - he finds it too confusing and so there is no fun in it, but most women do from what I hear.

It's okay, I came home in a thong ... which made the right impression. All good.

Even my very fertile imagination struggled to cope with this one and mercifully gave up at the 'Reginald Perrin meets Frankenfurter' stage.
I don't know what you do for a living but I am sure it doesn't involve a bowler hat.

I have only just gotten over Novocastrian flagellating himself last night (on another thread).......

Is it the season for deviancy on this forum?

I bought some special tins to make the tart and the cake in the shape of a heart. I am not expecting a present but a card would be nice. Better get started on the cake in a minute, actually!

OK, cake failed - bloody Canadian "all Purpose " flour!!
Useless!
Why does it have pictures of cakes on the front and then not have any Baking Powder in it, which s why I surmise it didn't rise?

Rescued dessert by making a puff pastry gateau instead filled with creme patissiere, the lemon curd and raspberries.

The tart morphed into spinach and cream cheese with Parmesan and had the prawns on top and it was very nice indeed.

I did get a card and a present - tickets for the ballet in April.

My OH did not come home in a thong, though, for which I can be doubly grateful.

It just occurred to me that I always seem to be discussing thongs with you ... I can't come out of that looking good (though thanks for the bowler hat tip - I might add that to the routine next year ...).

I actually made the OH ravioli with said annoyingly crap "all purpose" flour on Sunday, so I'm not totally weird. Just a bit deviant.

It is never me who brings up thongs on this site and I can't remember ever discussing them with you - I think you have me confused with some other fetishist baker.

I don't expect your ravioli rose any better than my lemon sponge.

On second thoughts, forget the bowler and go for something a little more jaunty!
Mrs LM will thank you for it.....

We don't do Valentines anymore. It got too confusing when he would get me something one year and me the next!!!

But in our house it's Valentine's day everyday. :flirty eyes:

I know, it's:

I'd answer with 'of course it does, your arse is massive so looks big in everything'

Treated myself to golf clubs and had my testicles lovingly cupped by a sweet old lady (medical, and I'm still coughing) Treating the wife to a soak in a big tub on the top floor of some fancy hotel overlooking niagara falls.

I had totally forgotten about this - age is cruel.
But at least it proves that it was you who brought them up.

This photo has given me an idea for a new thread on The Maple Leaf, entitled,
"EXPATS in HATS".

I think the conversation would go something like this;

"Well, my arse isn't as fat as your lips!"
"My lips aren't fat!"
**PUNCH** "They are now!"

We ended up going to the Keg but I Kegsized my gin and tonic and had some cheese cake.
