What's your pleasure this Valentine's Day?

i seem to have found myself in a fabulous romance just in time for valentines day..altho one need not be in a partnership to celebrate love. love of life, love of self, love for others...who cares what kind of love it is!!!

anyhoo, i am hoping to take mine to a certain event.

i think it will be an extended valentines celebration b/c his birthday is just 4 days later...so fun will be had then too! wee!

it is my pleasure to be partnered with such a man. to say that he is amazing would be falling short of an accurate description. wow.

i am sooooo very thankful.

Dan and I have reservations at a little crepe place where we had our first date. It's not a fancy place - we went there on a first date afterall - but we've returned for the last 4 valentine's day dinners.

When it comes to gifts I prefer homemade cards on valentine's day - the globbier the glue the better. I also prefer the simplicity of 3 longstem gerber daisies in one of our arty vases over an elaborate bouquet with roses, and 4 or 5 amazing artisian chocolates that may cost $3-$4/piece over a box of 2 dozen assorted ones.

But that's just me and I've always been kind of particular about stuff like that...

I can whole heartedly second Chocolati!!!! And not only are their chocolates to DIE for so are their drinks!!!!!

As for our valentines day... we have been married going on (ahem) 27 years (we were high school sweethearts) so we tend to keep things simple. (not to mention we are usually dead tired at the end of the day!)

Will fix a nice dinner at home (lets see...buffalo steaks? kung pao chicken? frozen meat pies?)....

I bought him, what I hope is gourmet chocolate, which is what he said he wanted. If they are any good I will blog them!

And in the spirit of promoting other cool Bizniks, Elena Anzalone is a Biznik chocolatier.
