Chocolate & Pasta. Now that's love!

Making this* and this for dinner tonight. We don't really believe in the "it's Valentine's day, must go out to dinner with hundreds of other couples" thing. (Not that there's anything wrong with it-- it's just not us.) Mostly it's cause I cook better food than most restaurants, and it's so nice to be all alone and not in a room full of other people. So the cake is in the oven making the house smell all lovely and chocolate-y. The pasta will be soon. And Andrew will be home soon, too. We'll probably have an afternoon nap, and then dinner later. I'm going to write "love you" on the cake in red letters (cause I'm clever like that.)

Besides, I got a bunch of special new "bling" when Andrew came home from Guam, so I don't need any today. (The cat just hopped up on the computer and is demanding to smell my chocolate-y breath. Cute yet annoying little thing).

*although for the stuffed shells, I'm making my own recipe. This one is close. I use meatballs instead of ground beef.
