Valentine Cookies and a Story

Hello everyone,

This Sunday is Valentine's Day and
 It's a very special day for me.

Sweetheart and I were engaged on Valentine's Day in

1960. To see my engagement ring Go Here. I scanned

the photo from our Wedding photo album. In those days 

Wedding photos were taken in Black and White. Our

photos have turned a little yellow over the years, but our 

love is just as fresh as it was 56 years ago.

To celebrate our special day, we have
dinner at home and when we were younger 

we would put on our favorite dance music and 

dance in our kitchen later in the evening.  

A box of chocolates and flowers are my gifts 

I usually don't give sweetheart a gift...

because he has ME. 

~LOL~

During Christmas I was making Lemon Bars and I had a little
shortbread dough leftover... I put the dough in the freezer until
last week when I baked a few heart shaped cookies with a hole
in the center to put a straw through.

I made the frosting thick as syrup and poured it over the cookies.
Let the cookies sit on a rack for six hours or overnight.

Confectioners sugar and milk 

with a VERY SMALL AMOUNT of

red food coloring.

Sweethearts (also known as conversation hearts)
 are small heart-shaped sugar candies sold around
 Valentine's Day. Each heart is printed with a message such 
as "Be Mine", "Kiss Me", "Call Me", "Let's Get Busy", 
and "Miss You". Sweethearts are made by the 
New England Confectionery Company, or Necco. 
A similar type of candy is sold in the UK under the name 
Love Hearts. Necco manufactures
