As you might have realized.. it is
Valentine's Day this
Sunday, February 14th. A wonderful opportunity to cook or bake for the one(s) you love.
Not in a steamy hot romance at the moment? That's okay.

While it is lovely to be able to celebrate one's undying love... or what-have-you.. you don't necessarily have to be part of a couple to celebrate Valentine's Day.

So, before you go telling me that romance is dead or that Valentine's Day is a Hallmark holiday meant to drain the pockets of the vulnerable...

Consider that you have the ability to make of it what you wish.
Dining by candlelight is good for the soul.

Romantic music, bubble baths.. maybe you dream of
this guy.

Or maybe your favourite Valentine is a puppy.

Even better,
this guy WITH a puppy!

Cute post Natashya--I am of course loving the George pix. ;-)
Did you get those pictures of Clooney from Donna :D
Just put up my heart shaped granola muffins. They might be one of my favorite Nigella recipes so far, but then again I really love granola.
I am feeling more romantic already!
Caramelized Pineapple with Hot Chocolate Sauce over at my place!
Kim - I should have gone to her for pics! I really love the one with him and the pug puppy. Mmmmmm. ;-)
Am hopping by Natashya's and Kim's post right away now....
Sure loads of romance here....my post is up too....
My Quivering With Passion Jellies are posted. Thought I would throw some passion into the mix. ;-)
I like that....quivering jellies
I just posted Bourbon ribs and spoon bread...romantic, get it? Bones and spooning. Alright that was uncalled for :-) From Nigella's Christmas book.
Happy Valentines day to you all! This week's theme was very fun to make.
I made Nigella's "Anglo-Italian Trifle" and it is delicious. It was perfect for Valentine's Day! Thanks for the 'sweet' challenge this week! Ciao, Roz
