Rosy Love Potion

February 9, 2011 By Leanne Vogel March 3, 2017

Kevin gets back from his trip to the UK tomorrow. First thing I plan on doing is giving him a big hug and kiss [common’ we’re all adults here!]. Next, I’ll tell him I’ve renamed myself to Rosy Love Potion. Okay, maybe that’s a bit out there. But you have to agree it would make for a fantastic name if I were a Bond Girl. Alas, I guess the only Rosy Love Potion I’ll have in my life is out of a cup. [served with dipped rose shortbread cookies. Or better yet, dipped rose shortbread cookies AND chocolate truffle cookies. I’m convinced this will be the best Valentine’s Day ever.] Rosy Love Potion is hitting the road this month. Be sure to spot her over at Naomi’s Go Ahead Honey It’s Gluten Free event. The theme this month: Love Potions and Charmed Foods. I think Rosy will fit right in.
