The UnValentine by Sam Beeson and I Heart You Valentine Breakfast

My aunt bought meThe UnValentine by Sam Beeson last year and it's a great twist on love and the holiday.

"Lily didn't believe in love.
Yes, Lily was a cloaked
and brooding cynical inferno.
And frantically she scratched
her hot misgivings in her journal.
She knew that every word she wrote,
each pointed, prickly curse
Was absolutely true, and Lily
wrote it all in verse."
But when Lily finds a dark note crumpled on her desk she finds her own unValentine.
Happy UnValentine's Day!
Here's a tasty and easy treat you can make for your own Valentine or unValentine:




Spread yogurt on a plate. Slice a strawberry in halve and shape it to resemble a heart. Add fresh raspberries and cream. Enjoy!
