Slight chip on shoulder developing.

Yes, I am celebrating this commercial, heterocentric, monogamy-centric, sappy, cheesy, Hallmark holiday. And I like celebrating it.

I'm not celebrating it out of some vague sense of societal obligation. I'm making this a time to fight mid-February SAD and icky weather with romance. I'm making it an excuse to take some time out of a busy life to do something special with the people I love. I'm taking an opportunity to stock up on schmoop while schmoop is freely available. I like this.

Note: this rant is due more to the vast number of complaints and large amounts of smug anti-V-Day sentiment I've seen on a few polyamory forums than it is to anything said by anyone on my flist.

Love love lovey lovey love.

I used to call 2/14 Hate Day, because I was all bitter and unloved. I wrote bad poetry, too. ;D

After being with Eric for 8 years, I revel in the snuggles now, the cheeseball fun, and excuse to remember how to date.

*hugs*

Have a magnificent day!

Yay! You too! Happy Cheeseball!

I salute you--and don't forget to share the schmoop! I spent late yesterday prepping e-cards for a boatload of people I care about, many of whom don't have an SO right now. Everybody needs some schmoop when the weather blows and it's wet and ugly outside and we haven't had bupkis for sunlight. Seconds and thirds for everybody!

I'm making a romantic dinner.

Soup:
Cream of carrot with creme fraiche
Appetizer:
Cheese in pastry dough on greens
Salad:
Beet salad with walnuts and blue cheese, put into a heart shaped cookie cutter, with avacado slices arranged in a fan.
Main course:
Seitan with apricot/caper/butter/garlic sauce, with cheese cups with mushroons in them, and roasted potatos.
Dessert:
An attempt at an eggless pecan pie, with a strawberry tart as a back up.

I hope I get a heart-shaped box of chocolates in return.

Ooooooh!

I love cooking nice food, and would like to have more time to spend making it pretty. The pretty food is sorta wasted on pierceheart though. Although he might not mind it so long as I gave him enough of the pretty food.
