...And apart from a big, stomping, quivery tomato ring, nothing says "Love! Love! Love!" like cranberry gelatine hearts.

I don't buy the transition from the un-frosted heart to the completed version.

Also, that clown auditioned for a supporting role in Picasso's Guernica, but was rejected for scaring the other applicants.

Did you know before today that Martha Washington served Pineapple Cherry Sundaes on George's birthday, or that Lincoln's birthday faves included Cream of Tomato Soup with Cheese Popcorn?

Me neither.

"In the days of patch and powder---
Dreamful days of long ago--
If the damosels were prouder
Than today we may not know;

"But it is no elf of fancy
That low whispers to us now
Love's persuasive necromancy
There was much the same as now.

"On the island of Manhattan
Dwelt there one of beauty rare,
Where sleek beeves were left to fatten
In the pastures broad and fair..."

As a married urban sophisticate, I concur. Nothing keeps that spark alive like a manly smirk, accompanied by sleepwear that's equal parts old-time nursing assistant and teenage fast food chef.
