We’re about halfway through winter and the days are getting longer. I rejoice.
Have a special weekend.

(Audible
You can read about the author, Benjamin Dreyer, in Meet the Guardian of Grammar Who Wants to Help You Become a Better Writer. - Why some people choose to dine at fast food restaurants to celebrate Valentine’s Day.
“…White Castle Valentine’s Day Dinner. The perfect mix of special, silly, and self-aware. A cheap way to celebrate a holiday that really doesn’t deserve any celebration.” - Sweethearts candies won’t be made for Valentine’s Day this year. (But, the new company that purchased the brand promises that they will be produced next year.)
- You could make these Conversation Heart Cheesecakes
- Or these Conversation Heart Cookies
- Sweetheart candy is fine, but I recommend this Coeur à la Crème with Roasted Strawberry Sauce for dessert. It’s a seriously delicious dessert.
- If you are looking for candy for Valentine’s day, these Strawberry Dark Chocolate Roses in from EHChocolatier in Cambridge, MA, might be just the thing (or their gorgeous Lush Valentine’s Bonbon Collection).
- This Marabou Slipper Cocktail could be just the beverage for your Valentine’s celebration.
- Goodness: “This business serves everyone” stickers and the people who display them (and the hope that they won’t be needed in the future).
