B14

It is merely coincidence that B14 falls on Valentine's Day, I swear.

The only thing that I ever plan to do on Valentine's Day is not celebrate Valentine's Day.

There are two kinds of people in this world:

Those who celebrate V-Day and those who do not.

A lot of people seriously love VD, and a lot of people seriously hate the fact that they don't participate in VD, and that's because the reason they don't participate is not by choice.

I am on the not celebrating side, but it is merely by choice.
 I mean it's not like I'm not totally awesome and pretty. 

(because I totally am)

I say that, but I know a lot of totally awesome and pretty people that want to be celebrating that aren't. I don't mean to sound bitchy; I feel bad.

I really am sorry for your loss.

I am lucky enough to have an amazing manfriend that shows me that he loves me all the time; reserving a day to do so just seems a little ridiculous to me. 

Why reserve one day when there so many of them in a year?

I've never been one for all the cheesy-romance-type-stuff, which is probably why I choose not to participate. So don't judge me, hatas! 

Today I wore a sparkly shirt to work, but that's only because I love sparkles.

I love sparkles every day, not just February 14. Everyday. 365 of them. 
366 if it's a leap year, which this year there is an extra day for sparkles! 

I didn't even think about the fact that my coworkers would correlate my sparkles with VD, because that totally was not my intention.

 That would be like an Atheist wearing a "Merry Christmas" sweater on Christmas.

Get real people. That's just weird.

Since this is a day that is supposed to be focused on love and all, I will be honest.

I do love a lot of things, and one thing I supa-dupa-love is food.

Who doesn't? Have you ever met someone who was all, "I don't love food?"

If you have, please send them my way because they clearly aren't doing it right.

[that's what she said]

Everyone loves food. Some more than others, and I would fall in that "more than others" category. I know it may seem like false advertisement because I am skinny and was blessed with a high metabolism and good DNA, but I seriously love to eat. All the time.

For example, instead of reserving one day to celebrate how much I love food, I choose to celebrate that everyday. EVERY. DAY.

Today I ate a footlong sandwich for lunch, but not on purpose. 

(not my proudest moment, but it was SO FREAKING GOOD!)

[If you were wondering, it was a turkey sandwich on that 9-grain honey oat bread from Subway. God, that shit is delicious. I am a sucker for the Februany deal. $5 footlong?! OKAY!! How could I not?! It's just getting has been ridiculous, I'm always thinking I will "save the other half for later" but who am I kidding?! I never do.]

In my first bloblog ever I mentioned how I had gotten the sudden urge to act all domesticated and start cooking. And cooking is exactly what I have done!

I must say, I am actually really good at it, but this is one thing that I cannot take full credit for; my family is filled with great cooks, and when a girl is armed with a Pinterest app AND Google, what could possibly go wrong?

Plenty. But in my case, it has been more going right than wrong, thankfully.

This is the perfect hobby for someone who loves food as much as I do.

I really love bananas. And I really love chocolate. 

So I decided the other day it would be fun to make some chocolate covered bananas.

This was the final result: 

If you weren't in the mood for VDay before, I hope my chocolate covered bananas do the trick. That is, if you were wanting to participate in VD, if not then it is good for a laugh.

 It was not my intention to have them turn out looking like chocolate covered penises, I swear. It is hilarious though, my dad used to make chocolate covered bananas all the time and I don't EVER remember them looking like THAT. 

I had some chocolate left over, so I also made some chocolate covered Oreos as well.

Yep, you know what happened after that.

If you decide that making chocolate covered banana penises would be a fun VDay activity for you and your loved ones, my only suggestion is to freeze the bananas prior to the dipping, and keep them in the freezer once they are done. 

If you don't, you'll have a mushy mess inside a hard chocolate shell, and let's just be honest, nobody likes that.
