THAT's amore! The girl and I are staying in tonight to celebrate Valentine's Day. I was all ready to take her out, but she says it's a rip off and we should just stay home. So she's making me my favorite meal -- homemade pizza! Which is all very interesting because I was emailed a press release today proclaiming that pizza is "right up there with cupid's arrow as a symbolic image to convey love, romance and Valentine's Day." More from the release: "After all, as one of the most familiar love ballads proclaims: 'When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that's amore.' That's not all. Historically, many of your favorite pizza toppings are known to contain sexual-stimulant properties and researchers have noted the smell, taste, and even appearance of certain foods, such as pizza, can act as potent aphrodisiacs that not only get you in the mood for love, but also may even make you a better lover." Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!
