Six years ago on MLK Day, Peter came to AZ to visit me to check out the "love connection," as we'd been emailing for months and hadn't seen each other in almost 5 years. We hiked Camelback Mountain in Scottsdale. It was unseasonably hot - a record temp of 81 degrees (in January!?) The heat must have sped things up because we ended up having our first kiss atop the mountain. Peter's still embarrassed that it happened publicly. Ah, the memories. It was a perfect day.
This year our definition of a near perfect MLK Day is a bit different: We slept in, went to the gym, attended a waffle brunch and pigged out (amazing syrup recipe below), then Peter took a nap while I watched a BBC mini-series (highly recommended: Berkeley Square, 1998), then we took a walk, went to a birthday party, walked home, ate some supper and I finished watching my mini series until late while Peter was on line. Fabulous! :) How was your holiday?
Marcus Bowers amazingly sinful syrup recipe:
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup sugar
1 cup butter
Bring these three to a boil, then add 1/2 tsp. baking soda + 1 tsp vanilla; stir
Voila!

I knew Peter before he ever met you and am happy to find out that he is doing so great! Cool MLK memories!
