When it comes to Valentine's Day, you might as well call me Scrooge. It's my absolute least favorite holiday of the year. No matter where you go or what you do, it's practically impossible to escape the overabundance of hearts, sugary sweets and bright pinky red...which is like salt in the wound for this med student wife. For his first three years the hubs was a medical underling, spending the day either cramming for giant exams or working the night shift. But this year things are completely different. No night shifts, no traveling for residency interviews and no large tests on the horizon. Instead, the hubs and I are celebrating Valentine's on the actual day for the first time...ever. We're going all out this year with cards, flowers and a heart-shaped cake. But don't let the shape of that cake fool you. Stuffed with peanut butter, bananas, chocolate chips and hint of whiskey, this is about as far from a pink fluffy dessert as you can get.
