Valentine’s Day may be contrived, driven by retail sales of sub-par chocolate and guilt, but there is no denying that it brings out a kind of creativity not seen at other times of the year.
Witness the shellfish display at my local grocery store.
(The meat counter, not to be outdone, had an impressive display of heart-shaped meatloaf. The crowd of appreciative carnivores in front of it made it impossible to get a photo.)
