If you ask me, as much as I love eating at restaurants, there’s something special about cooking together that makes a meal truly enjoyable.Īnd as any of my friends and family will tell you: a home-cooked meal is how I show my love best. Of course, we couldn’t get a table, so instead we cooked dinner together at home.

#FELIZ DIA DEL AMOR FULL#
We don’t really celebrate Valentine’s Day in our house, and in fact, this past weekend we sort of forgot about the fact that all the restaurants were going to be full of people celebrating Valentine’s Day when we called to see if we could get last-minute reservations at one of our favorite places. While Valentine’s Day is mostly a celebration of romantic love, Día del Amor y la Amistad encompasses love and friendship.

But in Mexico, it’s called Día del Amor y la Amistad. Today in some parts of the world, it’s Valentine’s Day.
