Valentines Day? Oh Heck No, It's Chocolate Day!

Seriously, is that not the first thing that comes to mind?

There's a rumor out there that chocolate slows down aging.
Now it may not be true... but it's not a chance I'm willing to take.
So bring it on!

And I am so not picky. You will always find chocolate chips in my freezer, 
and in the summer there's usually a 6-pack of chocolate bars. M&Ms are in a 
bowl in my living room and Quick and Hersheys syrup are at the 
ready in the kitchen for that oh so important chocolate milk fix.

For Christmas many years ago I framed and matted the family chocolate 
cake recipe that was handwritten by my grandmother back in the 40's. 
(It deserved its proper reverence) Learning to bake it was practically a right 
of passage in my family. And once you had it mastered you could ask the 
all important questions... What flavor birthday cake? Grandma's Chocolate. 
What cake to bring to the potluck? Grandma's Chocolate. Memorial Day, 
July 4th, Labor Day? Homemade ice cream and Grandma's Chocolate! 

So Valentine's Day? It's the food of angels. Chocolate.
