The Brown Mice are not into Valentine's Day ...

... we are not particularly keen on PDAs.
We are not what is known as a 'romantic couple'.
So, we don't send one another flowers or chocolates and we certainly don't go out for dinner on what is actually the worst day of the year to eat out (all those fixed-price set menus, all those restaurants pushing you out the door at 9:30 so they can squeeze in a second sitting,ugg).
Still, it's become a bit of a tradition that I make something for dessert.
The same thing, the Anti-Valentine's Day Strawberry Shortcake.Quick, simple, it can be made on a work night. And SO 1970s, the recipe is from one of my mum's Women's Weekly Cookbooks. She made me a photocopy of the recipe when I left home.I guess she knew I'd need it some day.

I got an ornate, cupid-shaped piece of chocolate. Eek! (I know, Cranky was just being funny. I'm feeding him heart-shaped steak tartare tonight.)
Happy VD. ♥

I'm totally anti Valentine's Day, myself. Had the best day ever as a consequence. Yay for you and Mr. Brown.

Romantic?
Puhlease!
It's the little things, day in and day out, that really count.
You know, like Mr. Brown calling you to come look at the bebe frogs and you making Strawberry Shortcake!
