If cupcakes don't have frosting they're automatically breakfast food.

Breakfast...

Today was one of the best Valentine's days I have ever had. Mostly because no one cared that it was Valentine's day. I got cards and candy from home which made me feel loved and appreciated but that was about the extent of it. (Including a box of see's which has been throughly appreciated, especially by the dog who dragged it off the counter and ate a significant portion of it. She is still in trouble but we were glad it was just toffee and not the dark chocolate foil covered hearts because that might have done real damage. Those she buried in our beds- it was really a thoughtful gift.)The thing about Valentine's Day is that mostly I don't care. Some people love it- probably because they are in a relationship, and some people hate it. It is amazing the passion some people put into hating this day, and the thing is they always come off jealous, like if they were in a relationship they would be in the other camp with hearts and flowers sending cupid grams to people. My feelings about Valentine's day has a lot of similarities to my feelings about the Valentine's bouquets you see at grocery stores: anyone can do it and it takes no thought, it is there out of obligation not real love; but I understand the purpose.

Yesterday I make coco-pink cuplets, which are a family recipe for chocolate cake that isn't too sweet which you then top with nuts and chocolate chips instead of frosting. This makes them faster, easier, better to transport and (in my humble non-frosting liking opinion better) plus as my roommate likes to say without frosting they are just muffins and therefore breakfast food.
So my day dawned with coffee and "muffins" for breakfast. Then I step outside and the sun is shining and it is in the 60's. I laughed with glee at the warmth. I had to call people to share my joy. (Honestly this is what makes east coast winters livable, there is a day in the spring where you feel warm again and you actually appreciate the sun. Living in California  you never really marvel in how wonderful it is to have a sunny day.) Then after class I got empanads and gossiped with Hotlanta. We appreciated that point in the semester where you know what you are doing and what to expect but life hasn't become too crazy.
 Really a wonderful day.
