allekhaZ and I made lime-chocolate truffles yesterday for a Valentine's activity. Neither of us had made anything like that before, and we ran into some Recipe Math (what I've started calling the thing where your carefully weighed ingredients make 2/3 the recipe, and you can't figure out how you would get the other third without making everything ant-sized), but they turned out delicious!
We also watched Whisper of the Heart, the next step in our slow journey to get Z to watch all the Ghibli movies. He was a little surprised at how very everyday the film's plot and setting is. I had mostly remembered 'he wants to be luthier, she wants to be an author and burns herself out a bit', and on rewatch, it surprised me how little of the film's runtime the writing subplot takes up. The Country Roads spontaneous music jam scene remains great.
I've been feeling off at points this week (started feeling faint at one point for no reason I can point to, woke up another day feeling dizzy from a sinus headache), but I have a four-day weekend ahead to look forward to. Saturday and Sunday are looking busy, and I hope I can catch up on some writing and Japanese practice.
