Hearts

Two things that made this Valentine's a pretty fun celebration:


Cupcakes with sprinkles. J and I ate them after dinner last night (yeah, a day early). Molly Wizenberg calls it a "far-from-disaster" cake recipe; it was close to perfection. And there were a million leftovers. Yum.


A card from darling sister L. We have a tradition of sending valentines to each other from our fake lovers, who try to persuade us to run away into the sunset with them. This year Rooster from True Grit asked for my companionship on the trail, while Julian Fellowes tried to woo L with his screenwriting skills. (Apparently this year's theme was old men.) It's a nice guarantee for some laughs in case the day is a lonely one.

Do you have any fun traditions?

  1. Love Molly Wizenberg. Have you tried her "winning hearts and minds" cake? So simple, so perfect.

    I'm also in agreement over Rooster.

  2. I love that cake! It's hard to say which is better.

    Rooster's got his own charm, that's for sure. We maybe quoted him endlessly after we saw the movie.
