Happy Valentine's Day from Dan & Misono

It’s Valentine’s Day! Dan surprised me with a bouquet of tulips (he caught on recently that I actually prefer tulip bouquets to rose ones) and although the day started out overcast and dreary, it brightened up with the lovely California sunshine by noon.

We spent yesterday baking and decorating these red velvet cupcakes for a Valentines potluck dinner party with friends:

We spent Valentine’s Day low-key this year with a quiet dinner at home, and then we walked over to the movie theater in downtown Berkeley to watch the movie Valentine’s Day. With an all-star cast and connected stories (à la Love Actually), it was a really cute romantic comedy. (Dan enjoyed it, too!) We recommend it.

Hope everyone had a lovely Valentine’s Day with their loved ones! 😀
