Beat the cold, cold with a pot of chili in honor of National Chili Day. Serve your chili with a tasty ale; add some cornbread or French bread & a salad and you have a warm and satisfying dinner.

This week is National Pancake Week…celebrate by hosting a dinner party, serving family breakfast for dinner or by heading out with your best friends for some savory pancakes or crepes and Champagne? Even better, how about all three?
Invite your friends over for a savvy dinner party and serve them a different type of pancake with every course; you can tell them it’s National Pancake Week before the dinner party or at the end. A party favor, you ask, how about a cute brown bag of pancake mix?
Don’t be too serious with the tabletop–do something fun like Royal Tart’s red polka dot plates.
Suggested Menu:
Appetizer:
Buckwheat pancakes and caviar
Main Course:
Potato Pancakes with oven roasted salmon, tomatoes and spinach
Dessert:
Crepes Suzette
Yum!

It’s a big weekend coming up…there are so many reasons to throw a party…starting Friday we have Opening Celebration of The Vancouver Winter Olympics, then there is Valentine’s Day, Chinese New Year, President’s Day and if you want to keep partying there is Mardi Gras on Tuesday.
You can have a party everyday or put ‘em all together for the “Presidential Chinese Olympic Valentine Gras!”
Decorate for your party with a combination of hearts, Chinese dragons, chopsticks, Olympic Rings, top hats and masks. Serve take-out Chinese food on red-heart shaped plates, with Olympic or sports napkins and ask everyone to wear a powdered wig. For party favors, give out Mardi Gras beads—what a blast!!!!

Celebrate Valentine’s Day like a real holiday; take the day off from work or since Valentine’s is on a Sunday this year, shift your Valentine’s celebration to Friday and take Friday off from work. Playing a little hooky might get you in the mood for some…
Spend the day in bed together, have breakfast in bed, rent romantic movies, light a fire, drink hot chocolate. Set a romantic table for two with a beautiful centerpiece and your fine china or with red & white (like Royal Tart’s polka dot plates). Go dancing, look at old pictures, make a homemade Valentine, take a drive, go for a walk, get a new puppy, listen to your favorite love songs, and eat chocolate in front of a roaring fire. Celebrate each other.
Happy Valentine’s Day.
Cheers,
