So D and I went out for Valentine's Day dinner. My mom was in town and she looked after E. We went to this Italian restaurant we always frequent on V-Day. Tonight, the food was unusually delicious. They always bring out a little mound of white beans with focaccia-like bread. Then we shared an escarole and beet salad with truffle oil (lighter on the oil than it used to be). For my entree, I had butternut squash tortelloni (and one of D's wild mushroom ravioli).
The dessert was the best. It was warm apple spice cake, with walnuts for a bit of crunch, drizzled with a light caramel sauce and flanked by a scoop of vanilla ice cream. As we shared it, I said, "This is a peak experience" and "This is one of the best things that has ever happened to me."
It really was.
BabelBabe sent me some beautiful multicolored yarn, and it helped rekindle my enthusiasm for knitting. I've been working on a cream-colored scarf for ages. For some reason, I forgot that I prefer making hats. So Babelbabe's yarn is turning into a ribbed hat.
