Walked into Walmart for tampons one day. Came out with a box of sticker puzzle valentines with food puns on them. I had to buy them the way I have to eat foods within 20 minutes of waking up. Couple that with the Wonder Woman stamps I had to purchase after NC Uber driver didn't wanna help me return my wallet and red and purple envelopes from Paper Source and you have perpetually-single Amelia getting way to excited about lots-of-love day.
Besides finding ways to make my co-workers love me convince my co-workers that I'm a child with a one-track mind for food, I like to... support the fact that I have a one-track mind for food by celebrating with food. Any excuse right? My most memorable Vday was the time I made salmon and asparagus and potatoes with other fucking-single peeps.
This year* I ate my massive(ly salty) lamb shank leftovers from Taste of the Himalayas with red wine.
While watching Top Chef and waiting for my ice cream to churn in 25 minutes flat.
Can you believe there isn't meat in this?? Because I can't. #vegan

Wish you, whoever you are, were here to eat it out of the yogurt container with me while I experiment with mashed avocado while watching Master Chef.
*Actually, this happened before Seattle weekend, but we won't dwell on the timing because the spirit was all about saint valentine.
**Thank you to Alissa to Kite Hill for this absurdly fatty cream. For reference, heavy cream is 36% fat.
