Whether you enjoy or dread the upcoming Hallmark Holiday - Valentine's Day, I've got two great ideas.


Make yourself or your sweetie a quick saute. Lobel's, a terrific family butcher shop and online purveyor has a very good, straightforward tutorial on how to Saute.

Saute - literally to Jump in the pan - is a classic technique that is well worth mastering. Most home cooks may know it already but understanding the basic steps can help any of us improve our techniques.

If you are not inclined or inspired to saute something - how about this VD idea?

ZipCar sent an email asking for our best Valentine's Day ideas: here is mine:

Thanksgiving does have a special meal and rates as my favorite day. Your email inspired me. How about this:

Zip over to a video store pick up The Princess Bride and enjoy over a big bowl of Spaghetti and Meatballs - homage to Vizzini (Wallace Shawn) "Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line!"

I think I'll execute this VD plan with my "TRWOO Love", and husband of 3+ years, Caleb.

Cheers!

PS drop a line for my killer meatball tips. They're so good they made my friend channel his Sicilian grandma and swoon in her native tongue!
