At dinner, while eating a sinfully delicious dessert, my romantic husband said

"I want to die in your arms.. with ganache in my mouth"

Sarah (and I) go for her sleep study tonight, down in West Valley. I am way way more nervous than she is; I'm not sure why. I just know I won't be able to sleep well, so I should just accept that (I mean, come on, who can sleep well knowing there are people watching?), but I've been nervous and edgy all day.

Things in bold are items I could really use help with, pointers on how to cook, or recipes.
