A dinner consisting of roasted chicken with root vegetables and fried onion gremolata, with a mandarin orange and olive oil cake with royal icing for dessert.
Years ago, we were in a restaurant on Lincoln Ave. in Chicago. Now closed, the spot marked Valentine’s Day and Ash Wednesday with a party, a band with Hans and Frank singing and playing accordion.
Near midnight, a priest came to the bar to distribute ashes to the patrons, it could have been a skit on SNL but it was the real deal. Fun memories.

A fave tapas fusion restaurant in the near west burbs. As one whose answer would usually answer “Binny’s” to this question, genuine thoughts and prayers for those similarly situated.

We decided to skip the usual “fine dining” restaurant meal and instead go out for pizza.

We plan to enjoy each other’s company. It’s been a long time since Val Day was spaced with distance from the night prior to Gov Intro!
