be mine

This is the cake I made for Valentine's Day...
Ok, that's a bold-faced lie. But doesn't it look scrumptious? It's Nigella's heart-shaped chocolate cake recipe from Feast. I did, however, buy these from a local grocer for dessert tonight ... yum! I was after something chocolatey with raspberries and these mini ganache cakes fit the bill... and who can resist strawberries in chocolate tuxedos!
We started the day by going to our second swim class this week, which was lots of fun, even though Sara's swim diaper leaked on her red pants in the car... there was nothing I could do but rinse and get into the pool, and she had to ride home in pee pants. But, moms always have a backup outfit, so after a quick change here she is dressed in version 2 her Valentine outfit from Grandma and Grandpa! Nana brought her some great new books and her first puzzle. She was also busy 'signing' homemade cards for her Daddy and grandparents. Her true Valentine though, from how she's lovingly engrossed in this picture, is her book collection.
Happy Valentine's Day to you and yours!
