Happy Valentine's Day!  We're having a Family Valentine's Dinner this weekend and with some heated discussion and much debate over what we were going to be cooking up, my mom and I settled on a theme for our little soiree; 'Love is Hot'. We'll be making use of a lot of peppers and spices, which is why this theme is just so clever of us.

Of course, the dessert that I was originally planning on making was seeming to stick out like my poor sore thumb which I recently injured in the midst of painting my nifty new little office area. Crud! What's a girl to do?
