Tonight was one of those nights. I was going to cook a wonderful, romantic dinner for my husband and enjoy a quiet evening in together. When the top came off my salt grinder and dumped about a quarter cup of salt into my
second batch of roasted potatoes, I realized that this was not to be.
We made it through dinner (drinking a lot of fluids) and were on to the eagerly-anticipated crème brûlée. While he ran to the hardware store to get fuel for the torch, I realized that when I halved the recipe, I forgot to halve the sugar. It was a
very sweet ending to a pretty salty meal, so I guess that was fitting.
For this shot I bounced a 580EXII off the ceiling, gelled with a pink gel in honor of Valentine's Day. Not really - I just wanted to soften the scene a bit, and it worked beautifully.

Seriously, the steak was fantastic, the crème brûlée tasted great, and wasn't any more sweet than any others that I have eaten over the years.
