To everybody out there today, I encourage you to go out and buy yourself, or someone else, something delicious.

I was happily surprised after a long day at work to come home and find some sinfully delicious treats waiting; chocolate covered strawberries (which are my absolute favourite), chocolate and nut clusters and a German chocolate cake caramel apple. The last one consists of a caramel apple covered in chocolate, pecans and other nuts, chocolate and coconut.

So a big thanks to my folks, who are also celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary.

I guess what I’m trying to say is buy something sweet for a friend, for your big sister, or your uncle. Or buy something savoury if that’s what they prefer.

Just show someone out there you’re thinking about them, and not just today, but every day.
