Today, Corina Bakery in Tacoma is decked out in red offering special treats and chocolate.

Yes, another Valentine's Day is upon us, which means giving and/or eating chocolate. Chocolate contains phenethylamine, which is the same chemical that's released in the brain when we have such positive experiences as falling in love, winning at Bingo or deliberately coming to a screeching stop in front of a tailgating SUV. For some people (OK, mostly women), chocolate is akin to catnip; it drives them to delirium. In fact, back in the day, when harems were popular, emperors would sip on mugs of extremely potent "drinking chocolate" to boost their mojo. Sources say that was the secret of Casanova's success, too. So much for being a romantic, though. Casanova didn't actually share any of the chocolate with the women he seduced; he kept it all for himself, that selfish prick.
History aside, everyone knows that Valentine's Day is really all about the chocolate itself. I'm sure you already have some ideas about how to celebrate this sugarcoated holiday, but before breaking out the Hershey's syrup for that midnight striptease, click here for a list of sweets (ignore the Halloween theme) created in our own backyard.
