Generally, I’d like to think I’m a romantic guy. I like snuggling, holding hands, and smoochin’. But, I’m not crazy about Valentine’s Day. I like spending time with people I love (or even friends/family) on Valentine’s Day, but I’m not huge on the dozens of roses and expensive dinner situation.

Ok. If you read Macheesmo regularly (and you should!), you’ll probably know that I’m a brunch fanatic. I love making a really good brunch, having a few drinks and relaxing with friends.
