All You Need is Love

Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone! Unless you’re anti-Valentine’s Day, which I was for a looooong time. But whichever camp you fall into, I think we can all agree that a little extra love in the world can’t possibly be a bad thing.

So smile at some strangers, don’t glare at slow-walkers, and maybe be a little more patient and mindful than you usually would be and everyone wins!

Last year for Valentine’s Day, Kman came to visit me in SF (cue: awww’s!), but we didn’t want to go out to dinner. Instead, we opted for low-key cooking at home, eaten in the living room…which I had turned into a giant picnic-fort hybrid with tons and tons of blankets and pillows strewn all around. It’s turned into a little tradition, because we’re planning the same thing for tonight! Kman is on living room duty, while I whip up a small pizza, with a side of bamboo steamed dumplings!

In case you’re searching for some fun, cheap, date ideas for tonight…here are a few links:
