I wish I had seen this on Friday, Michelle. It’s a holiday in the US today (Monday, 16 feb), as you probably remember, & I’m just catching up today on some blog reading. I didn’t know about San Faustino…I plan to investigate. I buy my own chocolates, I take care of myself (& others) & I am tired. You just made me feel a whole lot better. xoxo, Susan

Well Susan, I say you take next weekend to celebrate San Faustino…or any day that’s convenient for you

Don't care much for Valentine's Day personally but your cookies are gorgeous and I love them!

We turn into Jehovah’s Witnessesses for 24 hours on V-day — that is, we don’t celebrate. We do the same thing we do every Christmas and Birthday as well — we look at each other and say, “I bought you this farm, do you need any more proof that I think you are awesome? You want a card, too?” Then we laugh and go for a walk or cook something.

I’m so with you on EVERYTHING in this post. Celebrating love should be enough. And that can be self-love, family-love, friend-love. We’re doing something similar – C, his gf, D and I are making dinner together and then watching Baron Von Munchausen – how’s that for romantic?

[...] Now, I’m not a big fan of Valentine’s Day. The idea of “love” being forcefed down my throat like a foie gras goose really triggers a gag reflex in me. In fact, to counter all the sappy, chocolate-filled twee, I’m going out to listen to some combat rock tomorrow night. I’m also a big supporter of San Faustino, the patron saint of singletons. You can read all about him at Bleeding Espresso. [...]

Well, I bought some chocolates for my hubby, but I’ll be very surprised if he even remembers it’s a holiday of some sort tomorrow! LOL!

Yeah P isn’t so good at remembering dates/days either. I had to remind him that yesterday was his mother’s birthday

Having friends in for dinner – a couple who have lasted almost as long as us and two chaps who aren’t a couple but act like it. And I’m going to see if I can make a creme a la coeur – first I have to find the pan I bought to make it in almost 20 years ago. I honestly don’t think I’ve used it since. And a chocolate rose on the pillow case tonight… just like in all the better hotels….

Sounds so lovely Willym, right down to the chocolate rose! Che bello

Ah, yes, another V-Day single. Actually, I’m not losing sleep over it. LOL! I do love that there’s a holiday for singles. But even though I don’t have a special valentine this year, I’ll still treat myself. I’m planning on ordering a heart-shaped pizza at the place down the hill from my house, renting a couple of movies, picking up a few gourmet chocolates at the chocolate shop also down the street, and opening a bottle of wine.

Hey, I deserve it!
