Valentines Day:
A Romantic Getaway For Two
to Your Dining Room!

Wouldn't it be nice to whisk your valentine to France, and celebrate your amour with a little coq au vin and a nice bottle of wine? Or maybe you'd both prefer a short siesta followed by a hearty paella eaten in front of the Spanish sunset. Better yet, how about an extravagant journey to Bangkok, just the two of you and a little Tom Yom?

No need to leave the comfort of your home, or break the bank, for a culinary adventure that will take your sweetheart's breath away.

Start a few weeks in advance. First, craft a clever invitation: a fake plane ticket leading to your home in another country, a puzzle piece (for which you'll have the perfectly matching piece). Second, get busy with your dinner is for two-- which may be a simple, yet elegant, dinner. Third, extend the theme of dinner to your home's décor for a night. Create a romantic, deliciously foreign feel with a little research, some inexpensive decorations, a few candles, and a lot of love. And voilá, the stage is set for a feast that will have your Valentine swooning.
