Valentine's Day singles party menu

February 3, 2012

Are you single and need plans for Valentine's Day?

Well why not throw your own little Valentine's Day dinner party.

Epicurious.com gathered a group of experts to share advice on how to create the best Valentine's Day party and menu.

A Tortellini with Porcini Mushroom Sauce recipe stood out to me: Ingredients:

1 ounce dried porcini mushrooms*
2 8-ounce packages dried three-cheese tortellini (such as Barilla)
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter
1 cup sliced shallots
4 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme,divided
1/2 cup whipping cream
3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, divided

Directions: Place porcini mushrooms in 2-cup measuring cup; add enough hot water to measure 2 cups. Let stand until mushrooms are soft, about 20 minutes. Drain mushrooms, reserving soaking liquid. Coarsely chop porcini mushrooms. Cook tortellini in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, melt butter in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallots; sautée until golden and tender, about 4 minutes. Add mushrooms and 3 teaspoons thyme; sauté 2 minutes. Stir in 1 cup mushroom soaking liquid and cream; boil until thickened to light sauce consistency, about 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Drain tortellini; return to same pot. Add mushroom mixture and toss to coat. Stir in 1/2 cup cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer tortellini to bowl; sprinkle with 1/4 cup cheese and 1 teaspoon thyme.

Will you try this recipe? Are you planning on throwing a Valentine's Day party or would you rather lay at home with a cold glass of wine and watch a sappy movie?

    Why doesn't the ATM want my card?

    Summary:  Over the past few weeks I've noticed a change to the ATM I visit on West Broad in front of Five Guys. It's a Bank of America ATM and the main reason I like it is because there is only a $2 fee to use it.   Over the past few weeks I've noticed a change to the ATM I visit on West Broad in front of Five Guys. It's a Bank of America ATM and the main reason I like it is because there is only a $2 fee to use it. The last few times I visited the ATM, I put my card in the slot and the ATM immediatley gave me the card back.  I was a little alarmed at first and tried to put the card back in but the screen prompted me to input my PIN number instead. I was able to complete my transaction but it threw me out of my comfort zone. read more
