That Fluttery Feeling Day

Hello Lovely People, 

Happy Valentine's Day!💘 A day when fluttery feelings float in your belly. 

Before marriage those feelings signify the bubbling💝 love that tints all things rosy. After marriage I firmly believe it's indigestion😂. Oh, not from food related issues but gagging on the lovey-dovey messages you see floating everywhere😉. 

Look, I'm not averse to receiving TLC on Valentine's day, but when your hubby is the type who says "on Valentine's day the best gift I can give you is my 💓" .🤨. One can' t help turn cynical. #sourgrapes😅

Well whether you are single, in a relationship or married, you must indulge in self love 🤗🌹 on such occasions. For me self love is books and food!!😋 

My current read is Sir Alex Ferguson's autobiography (a book about my fav sport is 😻). For food since it's the day of love and I am not a big fan of the popular chocolates, I don't mind a large helping of this Choco-Walnut Fudge. 

If you are a Mumbaikar and appreciate the lure of the famous Lonavala Chocolate Fudge, I promise you this recipes is close to it.. Almost 95%...no jokes👍🏼
