Valentine’s Day - February 14
Content provided by:	Feasts Fit for Lovers by Tammy Weisberger No doubt about it, romance is in the air! What better way to take advantage of this candy heart-filled season than to turn the lights down low and the oven up to high? There are only two days in the year dedicated to tending the old fire of love—your anniversary and February 14—take full advantage of these days to stoke the embers and get love’s fire burning high! Set the Scene for Romance A candlelit room, rose petals on the table and delicately folded napkins may seem more like a description of a scene out of blockbuster movie than your life, but it needn’t! Part of setting a romantic atmosphere is letting your imagination run wild and creating a place where you are so removed from daily life that you can only stare longingly into each other eyes while delicately sipping soup, slicing the main dish and drizzling oil and vinegar onto salad greens. All of the traditional romantic table and room decorating practices can and should be taken into consideration when you get the room ready for romance! Send a romantic card a few days in advance inviting your lover to be your Valentine and letting him/her know exactly what time and where to arrive for dinner. Cover the table with a clean, pressed solid-colored tablecloth. Set the table with a formal table setting. Play romantic mood music on your stereo. Decorate the dining room and table with candles and fresh flowers. Dress in special occasion clothing and ask your lover to do the same. Lovable Meals Paying special attention to your lover’s taste buds is a great way to let them know exactly how you feel. Nothing says loving like a home-cooked meal including all of your honey’s absolute favorite foods and a rich, smooth dessert to top off the meal.
