02/14/2003 Entry: "Happy Valentine's Day"

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! My Valentine's day was spent at work, sticking rose petals and raspberries to heart-shaped Ispahan (see picture in previous entry) cakes. When I got out at 2pm, there was a line outside Pierre Hermé’s shop.

What is Valentine's day like in Paris? Well, same as anywhere I think. I saw a few guys walking home with roses, saw heart shaped stamps at the post office, and I know Galeries Lafayette has a big party tonight for singles -- they organized the "7 minute date" so that each person can meet a lot of people in one night. As for the guys in the kitchen, some are going out to dinner with their girlfriends, and Chef Damien said he might be late tomorrow because Valentine's Day is THE night for great you know what. As for me, I stayed home and did my laundry; but hey, although my valentine is thousands of miles away, he sent me roses -- I feel the love. :)
