So Much for Valentine's Day

Well, it's been about a week since I first got sick, and of course I wasn't feeling any better yesterday.  I woke up on Tuesday morning feeling so congested - as if an elephant was sitting on my chest.  And to make matters worse, I was coughing up a storm.  Oy.
 
Thankfully, my husband and I didn't have any grandiose plans of heading out to a fancy restaurant on Valentine's Evening where I could cough up a storm around other romantic diners.  Instead, we planned on staying at home and making homemade gourmet heart-shaped pizzas.  My husband took pictures of the pizza's.  I'll try to post one when they're available.
 
One pizza had garlic and herb dough (Trader Joe's), used traditional red pizza sauce (Trader Joe's), pepperoni, sautéed sliced mushrooms, baby mozzarella balls (Trader Joe's), and dried herbs on top.  Very tasty.
 
The other pizza had a traditional dough (Trader Joe's), used fig preserves (Trader Joe's) instead of a red sauce, crumbled cooked spicy Italian sausage, caramelized red onions, and baby mozzarella balls (Trader Joe's).  SOOOOOOO good!!!!!
 
We enjoyed a nice bottle of Cline Syrah with the pizza.
 
For dessert I made a velvety chocolate fondue, and served up peanut butter cookies, strawberries, pretzels, and pound cake to dip into it.  Quite tasty.
