Chocolate, of course! I love flowers too, as long as they're organic and fairly-traded, but chocolate makes me swoon every time.

Is this a serious question? Don’t make me choose! They're both so delectable in different ways; caramel is a chewy, sweet reminder of childhood and truffles excite my grown-up self. When enjoying a box of luxurious chocolates, I tend to alternate a caramel and then a truffle. In either case, nothing says "I love you" quite like pure, luscious chocolate.

I love dining out, but for a romantic evening I prefer a home-cooked meal, especially if I don't have to make it. I'm lucky to be married to David who holds his own in the kitchen (with Olivia, our 5-year-old, as his devoted sous chef). This Valentine's Day I think I'll request a hearty soup like Cream of Broccoli or Clam-Free Chowder to balance the chilly weather.

"I recently held a dance workshop on embodiment and the senses. As a treat for the participants and an exercise in RECEIVING I invited each to place a small piece of your luscious chocolate fudge onto their tongues and ALLOW the taste to come to them as they received the unfolding flavors. I watched many bodies melt into the floor with "mmmmm"s and ecstatic giggles, amazed that life was offering them such pleasure, so generously.
P.S. Your beautiful packaging was enough to make one feel gifted. "
