Though there are many beautiful locations to take your true love and there are many venues that have a romantic decor, why not try something different this year. If you want to make it special, start with something special. How about a little breakfast in bed. Most importantly breaky in bed will show your loved one that your willing to go the extra mile. This extra effort may even pay off in the bedroom!! wink*wink*
This is a great way to throw them off. Most peeps are always focused on dinner and flowers!! BOOORING! Same thing every year is not the answer. I found some cute recipes for ideas at this link:

I like these ones....
Egg heart on toast
- Use a heart stencil or use a sharp knife to cut out a heart shaped bread from the bread slice. Store the hearts.
- Toast the bread and then fry it slightly over molten butter.
- Prepare an egg batter as for preparing omelets. Put the egg in the heart shape after you have put in some butter. Fry properly and your special heart toast is ready.
- Prepare some more batter, with small pieces of onions and capsicum. Dip the cut out heart shapes in egg and fry in oil, till they are golden brown.
- Serve with freshly cut coriander leaves and sauces.
- You have two hearty dishes ready!
