Here's my Valentine's Day Post from 2006: Love Bytes: A Valentine Mélange.

The Weekend In Review

Claudio Monteverdi

Made chocolate croissants and a mushroom, goat cheese scramble for a friend whom I wanted to comfort. 

Called my grandmother.

Played gin rummy with Harriet and Peter on a train trip to and from San Juan Capistrano. 

Had my favorite fruit focaccia and a latte from Little Dom's Deli.

Read Jennette Winterson's book review of Lyndall Gordon's Emily Dickinson biography. (via @MaudNewton)

Spent my bonus weekend day off reading a Victorian novel for grad school and seeing a sappy movie.

Ended the weekend listening to Claudio Monteverdi by candlelight. 

Happy Valentine's Day

Caroline on Crack shares the recipe for Joan's On Third's Nutella Pound Cake... YUM!

I'm trying to find the right rug for my '20s Los Feliz bungalow. I love this one from Anthropologie. If only it came in blue-gray....

Tomorrow I'm taking the train to San Juan Capistrano for the day with Peter and Harriet. Train travel always makes me think of Myrna Loy and William Powell in the Thin Man. (Speaking of, did you know Myrna's father named her after a train station?)
