Leave it to Trader Joe’s for the reminder to plan a romantic Valentine’s Day dinner with their displays devoted to the holiday. You’ll find everything from a pair of strip steaks to heart-shaped macarons. Reluctant singletons may want to avoid going there until Saint Patrick’s Day. This token holiday of love has become controversial. For couples it can become treacle with its chocolate samplers that crimp the winter diet and flammable lingerie. Those who are unattached have the Galentine’s options that involves slabbing on clay masks and drinking way too much carbonated alcohol. Allentine’s Day has become our household policy, which opens up the holiday to not just the one you love but ones you love.
