My Punny Valentine

What exactly is a normal person?  I’m still waiting to meet that normal family or witness that normal life.  Thank goodness no 2 people think alike. How boring this world would be if we did?

So, I’m going to embrace the fact that my brain function might be considered abnormal.  Might?  How about we give it a classification of atypical and call it a day?  Here is how my mind intertwines with valentines.

I choose you.

Brunch Crunch

Breakfast cookies?  Well, technically we were invited to brunch so all bets were off (um.  You already know I am “off”).    The traditional egg and bacon breakfast first came to mind (some clever cookie-rs have gone down that route).   But fate stepped in; the movie we were watching contained a song from the early 80’s.  Okay, Elton John and Kiki Dee sang theirs in the mid 70s but its close enough.  Hope you will forgive me…

Peppermint Patties

Move over, York.  These peppermint Patties are made with chocolate shortbread (thank you for sharing the recipe Lila Loa) and standard buttercream icing flavored with peppermint extract.  Crushed a couple of peppermint candies to decorate the borders and voila.  Very Minteresting!
