Happy Black Bean Day.


Valentines day you say?
Spend it with Frankie...


...pg114. 

April 14th.
In areas of East Asia, Black Day is celebrated two months after Valentines Day as a consolation prize for those who didn't receive roses from their lover. Instead of moping on the couch watching Gilmore Girls reruns and eating a two-litre tub of ice cream, they celebrate their singlehood by eating noodles with black bean sauce. It's comforting to know that emotional eating transcends both borders and stomach linings.
