I should warn you – I’m in a nauseatingly wonderful mood today. I’m suffused with a warm post-Valentine’s glow.

Marcus and I collaborated on dinner. I made a goat’s cheese salad with caramelised onions. Marcus did a tennnnnnder roast pork fillet with Delia’s potato gratin. Then I did ice cream with chocolate sauce. That’s chocolate toffee fudge ice cream, with more chocolate and double cream. And Bailey’s. At the risk of turning into Meg, here’s a quick way to impress anyone:

One bar of good chocolate. One small tub of double cream. Microwave for a minute. Stir, stir, stir. Pour hot, silky sauce over ice cream. Watch your boyfriend melt faster than the ice cream.
