Vintage Valentine: Hungry like the Wolf

The Man and I had a quiet Valentines Day dinner at our favourite little restaurant, which -despite the fact that it’s changed hands and the service gets weirder and weirder - remains our favourite.  “Our place”, I guess.  It was a little Malaysian eatery, although now I think they are pushing a Chinese menu.  Perhaps they think that will appeal to a broader customer base.   However, since they kept ownership within the same family, the guy who used to manage it is now running the kitchen and he will prepare for us things that are no longer on the menu, which is really quite nice.
We are creatures of habit, The Man and I, and I think we’d have to find a new place to eat if we couldn’t order our seafood lo mein and curry mee!  And of course there were gorgeous tulips and chocolates involved as well.
(No picture of the chocolates, I ate ALL of them the next night, for dinner.  I was very hungry.)

The next evening we watched The Wolfman, which while unplanned, was quite fitting for Lupercalia!  It was a gorgeous film - the rocky moors and the dark forests and the decaying family mansion - actually, they probably could have taken out all the actors and cut out the story completely, and I would have been happy to watch the scenery.
I also thought Emily Blunt looked remarkably like Gwen, from Torchwood.  It didn’t help that in the film, Ms. Blunt’s character was named Gwen also!
