Yesterday Eric left for Ocean Shores for the weekend with some of his high school friends for a 'man trip.' I expected to come home after work to an empty house but was instead greeted by cheerful flowers and a sweet note from my man. Even more touching was that Eric later described them to me as 'duck-colored' -- anyone who knows about the rivalry between the University of Oregon and the University of Washington can appreciate this gesture -- especially since this was the day before the two schools met on the basketball court. This, ladies and gentlemen, is love!As a newlywed, I am a huge supporter of and believer in love; however, I'm not the die-hard Valentine's Day fan you'd think I'd be, now that I've secured a guaranteed valentine for life. I definitely love getting flowers and staring at my handsome husband with googly eyes over a delicious candle-lit dinner, but I don't necessarily want to do these things on a specified day. With that said, I'm not a Valentine's Day hater either, and I cannot help but be inspired by a day all about love (and one that is heavily commercialized with my favorite color!).
In honor of my lovely husband, February's 'holiday,' and my love for red: cranberry treats!
I love the intense color of the cranberries and the tartness they bring to these sweet treats.
Happy February and go Ducks!
