Eat the Couch Day

Valentine's Day seems to be celebrated differently in other parts of the world. In Australia, one usually only sends a Valentine's card or gift to one's sweetheart - girl/boyfriend or wife/husband.

Many years ago on the 14th of February we just happened to sell an old couch that we no longer wanted. The second hand shop gave us $40 for it. It wasn't a great deal of money but we didn't have a lot of ready cash in those days and decided to splurge on a take-away dinner.

Thereafter in the Qing family the 14th February became "Eat the Couch Day".

We celebrated this year's "Eat the Couch Day" with some yummy chocolate truffles that Hubby brought home.
