I want to wish you all a very happy Valentine's Day!
I hope all of you receive the gifts of love in all kinds of ways this coming year -- love among friends, love in a marriage or significant relationship, love and fun with your pets, and more. I also hope that you all have the chance to do something that you love -- get into cooking, read more good books, make things, travel, play sports, learn to play an instrument, and other things you might want to do.
Love makes life rich!
In keeping with the sweet theme of the day, I am sharing a dessert recipe:
