QOTW: What are your Valentine's Day food plans?

Happy weekend, kitchen friends!
It's time for our QOTW (Question of the Week) where we'll be talking about ingredients, methods, and sometimes just plain fun food stuff.
This pic is from that one time I made Valentine's Day Toad in the Hole with Seared Foie Gras for breakfast. :)
Since we're mostly homebody types who like quieter meals with low commotion, we tend to stay in on Valentine's Day because restaurants are usually slammed. So I'm starting to think about our menu in for Thursday night.
Sometimes I like to make some kind of pasta with a really rich, developed meat sauce, like oxtail prepared osso buco style. Sometimes a seafood feast hits the spot - oysters, shrimp cocktail, steamed Dungeness. Can't ever go wrong with a steak dinner for the hubs. Still chewing on it...
Right now I'm leaning towards seafood. :)))
So this week's question: Whether it's cooking in, dining out, or even doing the usual because you're just not keen on Valentine's Day, WHAT ARE YOUR VALENTINE'S FOOD PLANS?
Looking forward to your answers!

The third one is a standard truffle with rum, so this time I have shown how to make the crispy truffles. For about 8 to 10 truffles. Recipe by *Anna* cookpad.japan
