I don’t like Valentine’s day. We have a bad history: many of my relationships have ended days before, and I can still recall the bitter memories of those lonely, single years. My way of coping with this occasion now is to insist on letting the day pass with little fanfare, even though Kurt is quite [...]

Kurt’s birthday dinner masterpiece.
Just wanted to share the yummy visuals from the French dinner Kurt made on Saturday. Click on the images to zoom in and see further descriptions. I already yapped about them in Flickr–too lazy to duplicate effort.
Avocado and salsa.

Housesitting, steak, and climbing up the wall.
Last Saturday was one of the better Valentine’s days that I’ve had. Not that we did anything special, like we did on our first Valentine’s day together (romantic bed n’ breakfast getaway on Vancouver Island). We woke up in the morning and Kurt prepared some pancakes from scratch, as he usually does on the weekend. [...]
