In high school, my motto was “Valentine’s Day is a Hershey, Hallmark, and FTD conspiracy.” (I was too young to be figuring in the diamond industry.) But my husband has always made a bit of a deal about Valentine’s Day.

The first year we were dating, I came home to chocolates on my front porch, another year it was giant, South American peach colored roses. We have since settled on strawberries and other fruit dipped in chocolate. But this year, I can’t eat that, so he’s making me truffles instead- homemade chocolate truffles.

I must admit, I love being spoiled.
