A very Hathersage Social Club kind of Valentines night, a fabulous menu of treats (which happen to be aphrodisiacs), a decided lack of heart shaped schmaltz but the possible addition of a couple of love songs (as music is the food of love) and a few definitely not love songs played on a ukulele. How very wonderful.

* An aphrodisiac
An aphrodisiac is a substance that, when consumed, increases sexual desire. The name comes from the Greek ἀφροδισιακόν, aphrodisiakon, i.e. “sexual, aphrodisiac”, from aphrodisios, i.e. “pertaining to Aphrodite” the Greek goddess of love
