As soon as Christmas is over, all the items for Valentine's Day fly onto the shelves. This year was crazy with the amount of Valentine's goods you could buy. I don't think I have ever seen it like this before. It seems like every company wants their share of the holiday craze. It's not like this in the Czech Republic at all! Not everyone celebrates Valentine's Day in the Czech Republic because they see it as an American commercialized holiday, which it kind of is. However, there has been a gradual increase in Valentine's goods. For lunch, I wanted to try Raising Canes because my student and I talked about it. It went viral several months ago on social media and I wanted the chance to tell my student that I tried it. Sure enough when I told my student, he got incredibly jealous! We went for a nice wet walk because we wanted to take advantage of where we are for the time being. When I got home, my parents' neighbor rang the door bell and gave us fresh hot lumpia (Filipino spring rolls). There were absolutely delicious. Then my mom made Japanese sweet potato for the neighbor which I had to deliver. When I went to give the sweet potato, the neighbor then gave me fresh cut pineapple from Hawaii and a present for Amaya. It was incredibly sweet of her. I told her that I was organizing a Filipino cooking class in the next few weeks and she told me that I had to make sure that lumpia would be on the menu (it was!).
