Two ways I celebrated my birthday:

For years now I’ve been fixing the same little feast for valentine’s day: rock Cornish game hen, Uncle Phil’s long grain and wild rice, and flourless chocolate cake.
It’s inspired by the very first meal I cooked for Jackie, just a few days after we started dating.
This year I made numerous mistakes in timing and measuring—kinda weird, since I slept so well last night. Fortunately, a modest amount of scrambling and fixing managed to make everything come out delicious!

First hot cocoa of the season. (And well-deserved. It’s cold outside, and not so terribly warm inside.)

If there’s anything better on a cold day than a warm dog and a cup of hot cocoa, I don’t know what it is. #dogsofmastodon

As every Valentine’s Day since 2016, I recapitulated the very first meal I ever cooked for Jackie. I made minor changes, including baking a flourless chocolate cake and serving it with whipped cream.

I made two big ol’ mugs of hot cocoa. Delicious and warming! Now I’ve filled my empty mug with coffee, so that the cocoa dredges will make it ever-so-slightly mocha-y.

Very yummy, if I do say so myself.
Happy Valentine’s Day to my sweetie, @jackieLbrewer!

Soon to be flourless chocolate cake.

If there’s anything better after too much walking back and forth in the cold than a mug of hot cocoa, it’s probably dangerous or illegal.

Check it out: I broke off two squares of 86% dark chocolate precisely along the pre-scored divisions between squares. (Usually I just get random chunks of different squares.)
