Valentine's Day Chocolate Giveaway
I keep an open mind and I've never met a piece of chocolate I didn't like: white, milk, dark, or marbled, all are lovely. Actually, that's not quite the truth, because my "eccentric" mother-in-law once offered me a truffle that must have been ten years old. I initially thought it was some elegant gourmet item she'd found because it was an unusual caramel color. Actually, it was rancid dark chocolate, and it tasted indescribably bad. It took me over an hour to recover. (I recently helped her clean out her fridge and found dated leftovers from 1993 and plenty more "historic" chocolate.) My husband still owes me.

That's the spirit! We never celebrated Valentine's Day because it seemed like gloating -- we had so many single friends who found the day depressing, as we once had ourselves. So we made it a point to never celebrate. Then, one year, we decided to go out for a quick, casual dinner right after work, and during dessert, my then-boyfriend pulled a diamond ring out of his pocket and proposed. He couldn't have picked a better day to shock and surprise me. (In fact, he tells me I was so stunned I never actually said "Yes.") That was 11 years ago, and although we still don't do anything special on Valentine's Day, we keep surprising each other all the time.
