LOVE IS IN THE AIR!!

Super Bowl is over and the next February food frenzy is Valentine's Day. Whether it's dinner at a romantic restaurant, chocolates or a bottle of bubbly and fondue at home, romantics everywhere know this is the time of year when there are no excuses if you forget February 14th. There are certain rules that apply to this particular date and one of the most important rules of romance is that if you are going to get flowers for your beloved make sure you send them to her place of work so she can have that moment of girlish glory among her peers, proving that she does indeed have someone who loves her enough to send her overpriced flowers. This is NOT the time to drop by the corner market for the cellophane wrapped spring bouquet that has already "sprung." You have to bite the bullet on this one and put some real effort into it to get the proper response. Having said that, let me add that there are some great floral options available if you decide to pick up something on your own to bring home to the missus. Many of the large grocery chains have a great selection of many different flowers and with the right touch, any proper suitor can pull this off. First of all, buy the kind of flowers your sweetie likes. Don't buy roses just because they're everywhere this time of year. I'm not necessarily a big fan of roses, but a lot of gals are. If your girl likes sunflowers, then make it sunflowers. If it's carnations or daisies, well, you get the picture. The love potion here is the thought you put into it. Put the flowers in a pretty vase (not one from home, spring for a new one) and tie a little bow or raffia around it to spruce it up a little. You could also wrap the flowers in floral paper and give them that "Florist Bought" look. There's really nothing wrong with taking flowers to your special valentine, but if your valentine works with other valentines...delivery is a BIG plus.
Most of all, turn on the romantic in you and let the love of your life know how very much she (or he) is loved. comfortcook@gmail.com
