When I was a kid, if anyone asked me what I wanted for Valentine's Day, it would have been chocolate for sure. We weren't actually given gifts on the 14th by our parents, but there were usually chocolate hearts to be found somewhere, often at school

As a young boy, I never really thought of receiving flowers, they were something my mother got on Mother's Day. Then one night, after the curtain calls for my high school production of Pajama Game, (I played Prez) I was given a small bouquet of flowers. The entire cast got them, with the leads getting the biggest bouquet.

I remember being initially embarrassed about getting, and then carrying around my flower bouquet. I got over it quickly. When I got home, I put those flowers on my bedroom bureau and loved the color and energy they brought to the room. I kept them for weeks, until there were no flowers left to be seen. There was nothing left but a few stems and a dried out leaf or two.

I still enjoy buying fresh flowers now and then. Given the cost of everything these days, it's been awhile since I picked any up. The last purchase was last December when I bought a winter bouquet with some fresh berries and pine branches for Christmas.
I still however, pull out the debt card to buy chocolate. I actually find it cheaper, and more delicious to make my own. I often make bark using dark chocolate chips mixed with almonds, or sometimes with swirls of caramel or white chocolate. I usually make a ton in December and freeze some, and then add the rest to gifts I'm giving.

When Roger from RMark Photo sent on his Valentine images, I knew I chose to focus on the images with chocolates. I was also reminded that I still have one batch of smore bark, (dark chocolate, mini-marshmallows and walnuts) left in the freezer. I always enjoy featuring RMark's holiday imagery, and especially love seeing the shots of so many of the models Roger has worked with that I've enjoyed spotlighting in the past.
