Personal Note

I'll be making these Chocolate Espresso Martinis on Valentines Day tonight. I actually have a big work day from early until dinner time on Valentines Day and I know that I'll return home exhausted and in need for a pick me up. That's the problem with having Valentines Day on a Friday. In fact we are having our Valentines Day dinner on the weekend instead. Mr NQN isn't really responsible enough to pick a restaurant for Valentines Day because I am so particular. In fact he doesn't even really know when Valentines day is.

The reason I know this is because I said to him a few weeks ago, "I've changed dinner with Valentina to the 17th of January."

"Oh good, so we're having dinner at the sailing club for Valentines Day?" he said.

"That's not Valentines Day!" I exclaimed. Sigh...

So tell me Dear Reader, have you ever tried a chocolate espresso martini? And do you know when Valentines day is?
