Happy Wednesday my loves!
Is time going by quickly or what? I sucked at the menu planning this week. And by sucked, I mean I didn't do it. Oops! It was my own fault, really. No one shoved that 3rd beer or shot of vodka down my throat but me. Did I mention I had a bottle of wine before that? Actually, I shared a bottle with the bf.
Speaking of bf, are you doing anything for Valentines Day this year? Are you a mushy gusher? A sexy times kinda gal? A I-don't-have-a-partner-but-i'm-gonna-love-myself-with-tons-of-wine-and-home-made-dark-chocolate-hearts-anyhow person? Or do you write it off entirely?
I'll be honest - I don't care too much for the "holiday". The bf does such an incredible job of showing me how much he loves me all year long, we don't really need Valentines Day. Besides, making love obligatory not only voids any potential sentiments, but if you look at the imagery in mainstream culture, the assumption of heterosexuality is offensive and exclusive. I've been asking for girl on girl cards for years - for my friends. Uh, oh, I feel a tangent coming on. Let's get on with the Link Up, shall we?

I never made much of Valentine's Day until my husband starting working near a Neuhaus chocolate shop... my favorite chocolate on the planet. Any excuse to get him to buy some of these amazing Belgian chocolates... oh, yeah the excuse to make reservations at a really nice restaurant... the food potential of the holiday is all good! Have a fun one... PS: I think chocolate is good for hangovers.
ReplyDeleteoooooh now all you need to do is get him to actually work AT the chocolate shop ;)
DeleteKristy Lynn, Thanks for hosting another great party. I'm sharing a delicious simple recipe for using up butternut squash! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing Nancy!
DeleteThanks so much for hosting Kristy! Meant to stop by yesterday and tell you that your recipe made me drool. On my computer. Big mess. ;-)
ReplyDeleteaw dear. not good for the electronics!!
DeleteThanks for hosting. I added a funny spoof on the Ram superbowl commercial.
ReplyDeletei LOVE that commercial! might just share it this week...
DeleteThank your hosting! I contributed two posts, each focused on fasting. One is focused on smoothies, the other has no food at all!
ReplyDeleteNice to see you Tiffany! thanks for sharing!
DeleteYou want Girl on Girl cards?
ReplyDeleteMy friend's 14 yr old makes amazing cards--check this out: http://alainasmosaics.flyingcart.com/index.php?p=detail&pid=72&cat_id= that should take you to her Bride & Bride wedding card, but she has a wide variety. If that link doesn't work, her business is called Alaina's Mosaics and she's out of Vermont.
I'm linking up another romantic recipe, since I don't want to go out and give The Man some money for a contrived holiday, but I'm happy to show my love to my sweetie in ways that matter to me. In this case, mushrooms--a skillet mushroom dip for two. Since pink is the order of the holiday, and beets are shockingly pink, I'm linking up a beet and goat cheese pizza and a savory (oops, you're in Canada, a savoury) beet and horseradish muffin.
Thanks!
aw adorable!! i just want cards that don't assume heterosexuality. i want cards that disrupt that. inclusiveness, my friend :)
Deletep.s. so checking out your friend's daughter's cards. good on her!!!
p.p.s. i know. there's random "u"s all over the place here.
Hi Kristy, thanks for hosting. I have now managed to create a Link Ups page and have put your button on it just now. Cheers
ReplyDeletethank you carole! nice to see you!!
DeleteThank you for hosting! Today I shared some info about genetically engineered salmon that may be hitting our plates soon. I also was involved in a rally against GE salmon so I included my experience and have photos and a video.
ReplyDeleteCheck it out! http://healthyrootshappysoul.blogspot.com/2013/02/say-no-to-frankenfish.html
thanks for contributing Loriel!
DeleteFirst I am really "over" Coca Cola trying to pretend that they are doing good stuff for the world. They sell really vile product to the children of the world in the quise of fun, goodness & music. Enough! It is bad for everyone. Unless you have a hangover...which I think only happens to us adults who are not so seduced by coke ads to begin with.
ReplyDeleteAs to Valentine's...it is sweet, it is cute, it is a Hallmark card day. Enough said!
On the more positive side of life....let's just show some love every day in small and big ways when we can and make fun fresh juice drinks instead of buying cokes.
Kristy, your blogs always make me think. Ciao, T
agreed Teresa. Of course, as adults, we should also know better than to become hungover.... though that doesn't always compute. ack! i need a glass of coke ;)
Deletexo!
