Aw sweetie… you shouldn’t have…
Lil Dy did a lot of baking for Valentine’s Day and I got one of the surplus cookies, complete with customized message- hey wait a second…
No, actually my real gift was a heart-shaped box of chocolates. Diane made the box herself… out of two kinds of chocolate. The lid by itself is 3 bars worth. The flowers are made of candy, sculpted by Diane and hand-painted with food dye… the yellow one is a pansy.
Diane really loves you! Wow — did you watch “chocolate obsession” weekend on the Food Network? There was one show featuring all the sculpting people could do out of chocolate. Diane could’ve given them a run for their money (or whatever it was they were competing for, maybe a little ribbon)!
So there is a way to celebrate St. Valentine’s Day without involving Hallmark! No reason to shun the holiday.
woah, that’s crazy! i can’t believe she made that.
