Happy Valentines Day

Today my department is having a bake off, so I made peanut butter and strawberry jelly cookies.:


While I was making them this morning, I realized everything I know how to cook is due to the women in my life.
1. tofu Rolls- My mom and Aunt Cindy
2. eggs- My mom and Aunt Kathy
3. Salmon- My mom
4. PB$J Cooks- My mom.
5. mac and cheese- My 5th grade self.


It is interesting the things we learn from the women in our life. We don't really realize the lessons till we are in the middle of figuring out how to make heart dents in cookies with our thumbs (as you can see that didn't work) I say happy V-day to all the ladies in my life. I love you.


On another note, I also remembered this morning how excited I would be in elementary school on Valentines day. I would wake up every morning with my box of valentines cards, and race to school to give the boys I had crushes on theirs. I would fantasize the night before their reaction to my grand gesture. They of course never reacted the way I dreamed. In fact most of the time they would tell me " Annie I don't like you, STOP" I always heard " Annie I don't know I like you yet, so keep going. I love you."  I also remember thinking that all these boys would realize their love for me once they saw me sing Dancing in the Street in the talent show, or play the Queen of hearts in the school play. Of course they DIDN'T! Losers. But now I have a boy who does love me! I didn't even have to make him a card or sing or act! Actually we made a video together. That's how you know I guess.


Happy Valentines Day <3 Annie
