Here are Mister Cantor and me on our second Valentine's Day. I succeeded in making the Little Fried Potatoes he enjoyed as a kid in his present--a deep fat fryer. It'll live at my house so he lives a little longer! (And so I can see if I can make fried zucchini at home.) Other menu items: the cookies you see in the bag, which are a recipe of Peg Bracken's, but sugar-free, Sue Spicer's garlic soup, terriyaki spare ribs and roasted root vegetables. Fit for the king he is. And the king I is.

A gwate big vase of flowers shares the apartment with me now.
