Gooey Goodness: On Love

Did you know yesterday was Valentine's Day? Oh, you did.

Well, me too.

I think I used to hate Valentine's Day.  It felt like the cool thing to do.  Like all, being like, "Man, I hate Valentine's Day! It's a Hallmark holiday!"

Which is true, but besides, oh well.  Ug a lug.

Now I'm all "Man, I love Valentine's Day, even though it's a Hallmark holiday!"

Of course you might be thinking I hated this day because I didn't have a love.  But really, I don't think that's true.  (You see, I'm a chronic -shipper.)

I love love.  I love chocolate.

How can I NOT love Valentine's Day? It's like, made for me. Giant chocolate kisses? Yes please.  Boxes upon boxes of truffles. Um, yes.  Mini chocolates in fun shapes like lips and hearts? OBVIOUSLY I NEED IT ALL NOW SHOVE IT IN MY MOUTH LIKE I'M CHUBBY BUNNY ALL UP IN YOUR CHEEKS.

(Side note: my hips don't appreciate Valentine's Day.  They whine a lot, though, so I ignore them.)

This post had a point, I swear.

I like Valentine's Day.  Most especially I love Topher and his yummeriffic cooking skillz.

Yum a tum tum and hub a lub lub!


Five courses. Two humans.  One hour.


Course 1: Lobster Salad.  
Lobster tail, tomato, avocado, paprika and mayonnaise.  And a dash of f-ing amazing.


Course 2: Wedge Salad.  
Iceberg, tomato, bacon and homemade bleu cheese dressing.

I forgot to take a picture.
Course 3: Palette cleanser. 
Strawberries. 


Course 4: Filet Mignon.  
Parmesan red mashed potatoes; roasted turnips, carrots and corn wit cayenne pepper; gorgonzola cream reduction.


Course 5: Chocolate mousse with whipped cream and strawberries.


Ah, all us lucky gals out there, sing to the heavens.  Thank you oh spirits for ensuring that little sperminator found that little egg to create them!

Too far.

On a final note, for what may be the second time ever, Topher even wrote on my wall for Valentine's Day.  Oh, sweet romantic technological declarations of darling love.
