Valentine's Day at Home

If you are skipping the hustle and bustle of restaurants tonight, enjoy the special night at home. A few ideas for a nice evening at home: 

Pull your sofa up in front of the fireplace
Dinner ordered in or cook a dinner at home
Music on the stereo
Chocolate covered strawberries (or any other fruit)
Chocolate Covered Strawberries
6 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
3 ounces white chocolate, chopped
1 pound strawberries with stems (about 20), washed and dried very well

·         Put the semisweet and white chocolates into 2 separate heatproof medium bowls.
·         Fill 2 medium saucepans with a couple inches of water and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Turn off the heat; set the bowls of chocolate over the water to melt.
·         Stir until smooth. Once melted, remove from heat.
·         Line a sheet pan with parchment or waxed paper.
·         Dip the fruit into the dark chocolate by the stem, lift and twist slightly, letting any excess chocolate fall back into the bowl.
·         Drizzle the white chocolate over the dark chocolate using a fork.
