Pretty in pink.
I rarely make food for the sake of a color – I don’t think about green food on St. Patrick’s Day, I don’t attempt to tie in the hue of a dish to a game day party…..maybe I will think about red, white and blue a bit for 4th of July. But when I made this dip, and it turned out all pretty and pink and sh*t, I did know that it would be nice to serve it up on Valentine’s Day.
I may be a little bit of a cynic but I’m not a killjoy.
And truly there are few foods as universally loved as a hot dip. People get very excited abut hot dips. I get very excited about hot dips. They kind of turn a gathering into a party. Julia Child had that great quote, ” A party without cake is just a meeting.” Well, a party without a hot dip is ….well, it’s not as good a party as a party with a hot dip. Less memorable, but quite as true I believe.
