Sikes: Different ideas for Valentine food, drink
20.05.12
No doubt Valentine’s Day brings about the thought of a romantic dinner shared in a nice setting and including some special food. So I thought I might give you a couple of twists on a common theme.
Flowers and chocolate rule on this special day. Florists and drugstores are swamped. Now the same is true for supermarkets that have floral sections and lots of sweets, too. Giving and receiving these two traditional items make us feel good — even if they are a bit worn out.
How about this: Let’s try eating the flowers and drinking the chocolate?
