Sundae Crêpes: Raspberry Orange

I do love Valentine's Day..., and I love saying I love you! I don't think anyone should reserve sharing their love for Valentine's Day, but I do think it's wonderful that we have a day to solely celebrate our love for the special people in our lives.

I'm told next weekend Gabriel is planning something special, and as I love surprises-I can't wait. This year I spent all week at See's Candies; 10 hours on Saturday trying to convince numerous men that a) Yes! Your wife does want a heart box, b) Yes! Your wife does want her box of chocolates wrapped, and c) Yes! It does matter. On several occasions I just had to take matters into my own hands... sigh... their poor wives...

Happy Valentine's Day!
