Being staunchly opposed to the idea of supporting the commercial aspect of Valentine's Day, Adam and I are keeping it low key tonight. I got out of work early today, so decided to cook dinner, complete with Valentine's Day cupcakes. It was the inaugeral use of our first wedding gift: the Kitchen Aid mixer. I have an unhealthy love of this appliance. And it did not disappoint. First task--red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese frosting. Look at the beautiful mixer!
Look at the scary red cupcake batter!
Look at the scary red cupcake batter! Look at them baking!
While they were baking, I made the rest of our dinner--chicken with mushroom cream sauce, peas with pearl onions and brown Basmati rice. Definitely not a low fat meal (there's 1/2 c. of sour cream and 1/2 c. heavy cream in that mushroom sauce!) but tasty. 
And now we are going to settle in to watch one of those classic romantic movies--the Thomas Jefferson documentary by Ken Burns. We're a load of fun, aren't we?

Sounds likely a lovely evening. I spent the evening packing for the Tour of CA while Matt rode his bike on the trainer. Ooo la la.
