OT - Happy Valentine's Day

I'm going to bake some heart-shaped cookies today to celebrate, but as someone who's recently fallen in love again, I just wanted to say Happy Valentine's Day to every here.

Stop your baking, your cooking; put down that meat cleaver and turn off the stove. Tell someone you love them right now and then you can get back to what you were doing. It's a truly a great day to be in love!

Everything does look delicious, and congratulations on that new love, Ricky.

What did I do here? Nothing. Nada. Zilch. Well, mostly, I did stop and buy my Mother her favorite white chocolate/raspberry coffee drink. Elery is prepping for a colonscopy and diet is limited for five days before, which never was required previously. Mother had an echocardiogram, I did tell her that it was fitting to have a heart test on Valentine's Day, LOL. And so it came and went without so much as a cupcake, or heart shaped food of any type.

Nicely said, Ricky...and so very special to fall in love again! Happy Valentine's Day to ALL!

I took this photo a few years ago, but I'm making the same thing for DH today. A little 6" heart-shaped cake with 4 layers.

Made this for my wife. Forgot to grease the mold.

Happy Valentine’s Day to all in love or otherwise!

SO just left to go get whatever it is I'll be getting this year. I gave him his stuff: 2 pairs of boots a shirt and a coat. He never did pick out a race car part for me to order. Grrr. So difficult. If I can drag myself out of the house I'll be going to the grocery store while he is out to get something to cook for us tonight. I am thinking heart shaped pizzas,but I'm not sure.

Here DV is tucked in under snow which is a good thing. I think this Arctic blast will be the first time all season we may actually hit zero tonight with wind chill putting us at -10. Snow has not been plentiful this season and temps bouncing from 40's down to 20's. I think the highest snowfall this season was about 6-7 inches and that melted quickly. However, the storm we had recently will most likely hang around for longer this time. Can't wait till spring warmth arrives. Julia

Happy Valentine's Day! I too would take that kind of a box of chocolates! Bonus they aren't even bad for blood sugar. Exactly the opposite in fact.

Happy Valentine's Day to all my friends here on the cooking forum : )

chloebud, that cake is gorgeous and perfect for 2! foas, if I weren't happily married, I'd stalk you (kidding of course!) : ) Ricky, I'm working on taxes today, DH is out at work, so I had to resort to kissing the cat and dog, told them both I loved them... DH will get his turn when he comes home tonight : )

Jasdip, a very special 'hello' to you today - and a request... will you be my Valentine? I know today will be very hard for you.

foas, it looks like not greasing the mold gave it kind of a pretty, scalloped edge...nice!

2Many, your posts are always so sweet! :-)

This was the extent of my valentine baking. I have to make 2 different ones because as we all know, no two people can agree on pizza toppings,even if they are in love. ;)
