So we decided to skip going out for Valentine's Day. Instead we're hanging out at home -- got a fire going, watching ski jumping (and other variety sports from this afternoon's Olympics which we recorded), and making home-made steamed pork buns. Actually we've been working on those on and off since yesterday morning when I started brining the pork belly for the filling. Everything has gone pretty smoothly other than this AM when the Fiesta baking dish exploded in the 450 oven, spilling a mix of water, chicken stock and melted pork fat all over the floor of the oven. That was exciting. At least nothing burst into flames. Sarah got me a new Wüsthof knife (a santoku, which we were lacking) and I got her a new Ella Fitzgerald box set. So, yeah, maybe we know each other a bit at this point.
And for dessert? Peanut butter & bacon truffles from Scratch.
