There was a time when I used to love reading soft mushy romantic books, Mills and Boons kind but I realized with time that fairytale love stories exist in the realm of books and movies only. Real life walks in a different route altogether. Anyway, Valentine's Day is approaching nearer. I know lots of people who celebrate Valentine's Day in full swing and lots of people who sulk. One teenage sister in law of mine, for example, has put up a status on FB calling "Valentine's Day the stupidest day ever". When enquired of the reason for her such antagonistic statement, she clarifies that she feels frustrated seeing couples all over the place on V-Day whereas she and people like her who don't have anyone yet to address as their valentines feel left out and lacking. I completely understand her emotions because I used to feel the same way when I was her age.
Now it's not fair to segregate Valentine's Day into a celebration exclusive to people in love only. You may wish anyone you love on V-day including brother, sister, mother, father, friends and for that matter, just anyone you like. V-day celebrates love and love is not limited between pairs. So anywhere where your heart is, wishes can be exchanged. Taking the opportunity of the moment, let me wish you my readers a Very Happy Valentine's Day. May love and goodwill thrive in the world.
The below recipe is not perfectly grand and befitting for an occasion like Valentine's Day, but I believe something that my hubby gobbles up with love and affection is share worthy on V-day. After all, love is what that matters.
