Valentine thoughts
It’s coming close; it’s inevitable; it’s on a SUNDAY!!!! Oy vay! What was Caesar thinking when he invented this calendar? We can’t do anything about the day of the week, but certainly we can enjoy it still, with a minimum of modifications (say that fast 3 times).
Our own Amy Reily has been cited again, on Epicurious.com’s website, here. It’s a good read, full of cool trivia, plus recipes! Some of them look fabulous; the only thing stopping me from trying them right now, is the fact that anticipation makes the act even sweeter. So, off you go to get some ideas for making your own day most excellent. But before you leave ME, a few thoughts:
Champagne is a must for your party. The bubbles make women giggly, and giggly women jiggle – in all the right places. It’s even better if one is nude while one giggles, but not required. Some things take care of themselves. I’m not about to go out on a limb & recommend a champagne or sparkling wine – there are tons of people out there who can do it for you. I’ve been enjoying Barefoot Bubbly lately; even the name is fun.
With champagne, you need one, or both, of these: strawberries and chocolate. It’s not a cliche’; strawberries are the perfect guest to have at your champagne party. Chocolate is the other – and by no means limit yourself to a Hershey bar! Go to your local bookstore & get some Godiva truffles. Or pick up a bag of Ghiradelli squares – they come in all sorts of flavors, milk and dark chocolate. Or go out on a REAL limb & buy some chocolate body paint – the edible kind – and kick this party up to its (proverbial) climax. And on that note, I’ll leave you to another day.
