I realize I’m a little late here posting this week’s Music Monday, but I admit it, I put my Valentine before all of you. While I should have been writing this last night so I could blast it out this morning, I was covered in glitter and scraps of paper making the greatest (I must say) homemade Valentine’s Day card.
One thing my Valentine and I have in common is, we love tacos (so does the rest of the WRG? fam, have you seen our Taco Tuesday’s?!). We also both really love Indian food so decided to make our own creation, Tandoori Tacos. They were obviously delicious but definitely need a little more work (our excuse to make more tacos).
I realize not all of you had a special someone to spend today with today (hey, I can’t say I’ve been so lucky in years past) but whether we like it or not, thanks to the romantics, the cynics, and Hallmark cards, we can’t ignore this day. So we decided to bring you a variety of Valentine’s mixtapes depending on your mood.
Because love it confusing, blind and often forgotten, we have ‘Mixed Feelings by Ill John Kim. Songs you secretly love but forgot…’ Need we say more?
