Cooking
A sign of true love: for Valentine's day, we made dinner for each other. Matt made a ton of sushi for me.

Indira's been waiting, and here they are! Muffins for Matt, three jalapenos, minced, cornmeal, flour, buttermilk, and mashed potatoes (recipe calls for zucchini, but ours went bad), topped with grated cheese (Asiago), and baked till dry and firm....
