Though Nick often jokes that I won his heart over through his stomach, it’s actually the other way around. That’s how he suckered me in! You see, when I first met Nick, he was quite the cook, always whipping up something new for dinner for 4 or 10 different friends. I remember homemade Thai chicken…
