Yet another Valentine's Day where I celebrate solo. Instead of being bummed about not having a boy toy, I'm doing what I do best: hosting a dinner party! Luckily, Chinese New Year happens to fall on Valentine's Day, so I'm inviting a select group of single friends to join me for a Chinese-inspired feast.

When planning a romantic dinner, it's important to make it different from the everyday meals you have together. The easiest way to do this is to set up a small table in an area you wouldn't normally eat, like by the fireplace or overlooking the window. Use placemats, cloth napkins, good china, and fine flatware.

Before you sit down to a romantic dinner for two on Valentine's Day, enjoy each other's company over a blushing cocktail. This drink is the perfect boy meets girl concoction.
Don't be fooled by the pink color; it's gin-based, so it's not for the faint of heart.

No romantic dinner is complete without a sweet finish and an occasion like Valentine's Day requires chocolate. Select a dish that's decadent, but can be made in advance. I recommend these creamy chocolate pots.

This week I'm helping my friends Ryan and Alex plan a Super Bowl party. While many in attendance will be excessively drinking beer from a keg, I've decided to whip up a beer cocktail for anyone who prefers something a little lighter.
Appropriately called Linebacker Limeade, this simple concoction is a mixture of Corona and limeade concentrate.

FabSugar and I are hosting an Apples to Apples game night. We'll eat apple snacks, sip on apple cocktails, and naturally, decorate with apples! Instead of filling vases with flowers, I'll simply pile in a bunch of apples.
