This is late, but I'm always late. So it works. Happy Valentine's Day! I'm less of a Valentine's Day fan and more of a "it's an excuse to do something different" kind of person. I think it's the Catholic in me. Let's see... it's Thursday, we want to do something... there's gotta be a saint around here that we can celebrate... ah ha! Swedish saints: Winaman, Unaman & Sunaman, OSB Monks MM (AC)
"Died c. 1040. No this isn't a rock group. Rather this trio of nephews of Saint Sigfrid of Wexlow, followed their uncle to the Swedish mission. The Benedictine monks were martyred at Wexlow (Växjö) by beheading. There bodies were buried deep in the forest but the heads, which had been thrown into the nearby lake, were recovered and enshrined in the church at Växjö until the Lutherans removed them. These three are venerated in Sweden (Benedictines, Husenbeth)." (from www.stpatrickdc.org).
So bring on the ale and a toast to Winaman, Unaman, and Sunaman.
In all seriousness, good times were had last night. Champagne + spicy Thai food + aqua teen hungar force = <3. I like excuses to do nice things for people, so I hooked mr. wonderful up with a new copy of Guitar World and cupcakes from the Buttery.
