    Happy Valentine’s Day! This wasn’t a planned thing, but since I’ve often made stuff with guava for the month of February, and I just happened to have some leftover guava paste in the fridge, this was bound to happen. And I simply used a common recipe online for lemon bars with shortbread crust to make…

    Happy February! Ben and I are just hanging out watching Superbowl LII (I had to look that up; Ben’s the real football fan.
