Valentine's Day
Off to Market Recap: Valentine's Day Kitchen
Valentine's Day is just around the corner and at this time of year I love to decorate my kitchen with hearts. To ensure that we all have more love in our lives, I asked you to search the Internet for festive Valentine's Day themed kitchenware. When you found a fabulous item, you bookmarked it.
Let's Dish: How Are You Celebrating Valentine's Day?
As PartySugar mentioned, this year, Valentine's Day and Chinese New Year fall on the same day, which will make for an interesting celebration. On Sunday, I'll actually be ringing in the Lunar New Year with some close relatives, Chinese banquet-style, so I'm reserving the day before to enjoy with my guy. We're keeping it simple and making his favorite meal together: spaghetti topped with giant meatballs, sautéed Winter greens, and traditional shortcake and Champagne for dessert.
Come Party With Me: Romantic Dinner — The Look
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.
Come Party With Me: Romantic Dinner — Drinks
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.
Come Party With Me: Romantic Dinner — Dessert
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.
Come Party With Me: Romantic Dinner — Menu
This Valentine's Day, don't bother with restaurant reservations and overpriced three-course menus. Instead, cook up a deliciously decadent dinner for two in the comfort of your own kitchen. Light candles, turn on mood music, and pour glasses of wine.

Happy Hour: X-Rated Sangria
I'll be up front and say that Valentine's Day is not my favorite holiday. I'm an idealist who believes that every day should be full of love and affection. But I do appreciate that it's the perfect excuse to eat a surplus of chocolate, and better yet, just about the only occasion when it's acceptable to drink ridiculously girly cocktails.
