Does your heart go pitter patter when you think of your Valentine?
Or do you celebrate anti Valentine's Day?
Some of the younger single teachers I worked with did the latter. If they weren't in a relationship, they used to have Man Hater Parties. :)
They really didn't hate men, just a way for them to have some fun at the expense of the opposite sex!
So how do you share the love?
A loaf of bread, a jug of wine?
This Gnarly kind will be just fine!
We play the game of hugs and kisses...
Some are wins and some are misses!
If the losses make your spirits droop
Just have a cup of heart filled soup!
If you feel you still might cry
Have a HEART shaped pizza pie!
Oh you still don't feel much better?
Here's a salad with LIPS of feta!
We'll have a party , our diets forsake
There is always room for cookies and cake!
The game of love is full of blips,
So please enjoy these candy lips!
Mmmmmmwah! Happy ♥ Day everyone!
I am joining Laurie at Bargain Hunting with Laurie for her Valentine Party, The Tablescaper for Seasonal Sunday and the Heart to Heart Party.
Thank you for visiting!
(The cakes were made with devils food cake and cherry pie filling and a heart shaped cutter. The cupcake you slice off the top, cut a heart out and put the cherries on and replace the top. My version of Black Forest Cake. I made the candy lips with a mold and pink melts. )
One more thing and then I'll dash...
A heart shaped egg with baked ham hash! :)
So cute Kathleen........and all your tables are gorgeous as always. I loved them all, but my fav was with the red polkadots. Looks like a good time of eating too!!
ReplyDeleteBlessings for a fun and Romantic Valentines Day!!

There you go again with your witty poetic words. Cute post! You have me wanting a piece of chocolate cake NOW. Wonder if my "chef" will make me heart shaped eggs in the morning. ;-)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the weekend! Happy Heart Day! ~ Sarah
hey, Kathleen, do you make the poems first and then cook to fit or the food first and then the poems! They're perfect, the food and the poetry! LOL!
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine's Day!
Oh, Kathleen. What an EASY and VERY ATTRACTIVE and DELICIOUS chocolate cupcake treat. Even I can do that. And I'm going to. I'll pick up the cake mix (I very, very rarely start from scratch.) and the pie filling tomorrow. My family will be gone till late afternoon, so I have get them done in the morning and have them all ready to go.
ReplyDeleteI think this was one of your best poems. So fun to read as I scanned through the pictures.

All your heart food is just too cool! We never go out on Valentine's Day (don't like the crowds) and we also try to go with Meatless Mondays. I think I will make heart-shaped pizzas for tomorrow evening. Thanks so much for the idea!
ReplyDeleteBecky
Oh, heavens....I have never seen so much yummy heart shaped food!
ReplyDeleteJust wonderful.
xo,
Sena
My daughter was with me as I was viewing your post -- she kept on saying, "Why can't you do this or that?" I just did heart-shaped pizzas on Saturday -- I should have saved it for the real day. Lots of love going on here on this post. Love the little red glass x's and o's and the red felt hearts. Joni
ReplyDeleteOMGosh, K.
ReplyDeleteI do believe you have topped yourself on this one. The tables are beautiful..especially love the polka dots.
ALL the food looks delicious.
Gosh, you are so creative with food.
The poem...adorable.
Another great poem! Did you cook up all that food just so you could have the right words/pics to rhyme? It was wonderfully seeing some of your previous V's day 'scapes again, all lovely! Delicious looking food too!
ReplyDeleteHappy V's day!
