Valentine's Day
14th of Feb is looming again. Time to get in the kitchen and woooooo your other arf 
I was thinking firstly of doing Fajitahs as thats fun, but decided against it in the end as it's messy and contains chilli 
rubber gloves required to make them 
Thought of other things but just couldn't find inspiration for a fine balance of nice (non messy) food and romance??? Dilemna time. What are you lot cooking?? Not that I'll nick your ideas

Re: Valentine's Day
You dont need chilli for fajitahs. All I do is rub some chicken breasts or thighs with olive oil and fajitah seasoning (bought or make your own) then char grill. Saute some onions and peppers (you could add some sliced mild chilli's). Drizzle both the chicken and onion/peppers with lime juice. Serve in fajitah wraps with desired fillings.
