Share Some Love with Cupcakes
Five Decadent and Easy Chocolate Desserts for Valentine’s Day By Freida Thomas I can’t think of anything better than treating your sweetheart with a homemade dinner and an easy decadent dessert this Valentine’s day. I’ll leave the dinner up to you, but below are five sweet and delicious suggestions for desserts to make for your Valentine this year! Simple but Yummy Brownie Sundae The key to making this common dessert special is to cut your favorite baked brownies into individual hearts with a 3 ½ inch heart shaped cookie cutter. To assemble, use a white plate and squirt some raspberry sauce in a decorative pattern. Place a scoop of strawberry ice cream on one side of plate. Lay your heart shaped brownie up against the ice cream. Make the mood more romantic by slowly feeding this delish dish to your valentine! Chocolate Fondue What would Valentine’s Day be without chocolate fondue? Serve while the fondue is warm. Load up skewers with fruits of all kinds: bananas, strawberries, pineapples, apple slices, pear slices, and marshmallows. This dipping dessert is only limited by your imagination.
The possibilities are endless! Brownie Heart Cupcakes This is simple yet will convey your love on Valentine’s Day. Bake your favorite cupcake and brownie recipes. Use a 1 ½ in heart cookie cutter to cut heart shapes from the brownies. Frost your cupcakes with a pink Basic Butter cream Icing recipe. Then carefully place your heart shaped brownie on top of the cupcake. Optionally, you could place a cherry on top of the brownie! Chocolate and Banana Waffle Panini (perfect to serve your Valentine for breakfast in bed) This is an easy recipe, but will make a big impression. Simply take 2 frozen waffles, spread 1 side of each waffle with butter. Place sliced bananas, and 1 oz. of chopped chocolate in between the non-buttered sides of the waffles. Heat the waffle Panini, buttered sides out, in a medium skillet, covered, until he chocolate melts and the waffles are crisp and done, about 2 minutes per each side! Chocolate Drizzled Nuts with Sea Salt If your Valentine is a nut lover (notice I didn’t say nut), but a lover of nuts, try this sweet and salty recipe to
have with a glass of wine after your romantic dinner. You can make this with a single nut of your choice or a can of lightly salted mixed nuts. I prefer the mixed because I’m a lover of all nuts! Line a rimmed cookie sheet with parchment paper and spread out 2 cups of nuts on it. Next melt ¼ pound of semi-sweet chocolate, chopped in 30 second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is

melted and smooth. Drizzle nuts with the chocolate and ½ teaspoon flakey sea salt. Place the cookie sheet with the nuts in the refrigerator until set, about 15 to 20 minutes. Break apart into pieces before serving. Any of these five easy yet decadent recipes will be appreciated by a chocolate lover, especially if they are made and presented with a kiss and an “I love you.”

Valentine Sayings About Love By David Searm Mere words put together, when expressed with love and profound emotions transpire into “notes of love”. They are simple yet all expressive, all romantic! You know it when you see the spark in your lover’s eyes, their radiant smile as you read out one on a silent evening. Valentine sayings are exactly that. Put together your feelings into words and weave a line or two on it! Not that you always have to croon your own thoughts into lines. Writers, poets and thinkers across the ages have written about love in abundance. You can seek inspiration from them and write your own notes. Else you can simply quote a line or two from Valentine Sayings written by eminent writers. A simple valentine saying not only serenades love and your beloved, but also expresses your thoughts. Pick up the ones that suit you best. Make a scroll and scribble few lines on it to give it a “Romeo-Juliet” feel. Else writing on a parchment or a greeting card is just perfect. “Love is a many splendid thing. Love lifts us up where we belong. All you need is love!” from Moulin Rouge (movie)

There is also the idea of heartshaped meatloaves. You can shape the meatloaves by shaping them in a pan or shaping them by hand. Depending on your serving needs, you can make one large heart-shaped meatloaf or several smaller sized ones. You can then top the meatloaves off with tomato sauce, ketchup or another red sauce of your

The History of Valentine’s Day: Who was St. Valentine? By Scott Brodie This history of Valentine’s Day is shrouded in mystery. While every February 14, Valentine’s Day, couples send romantic Valentines, no one knows the true history of Valentine’s Day. Many believe the history of Valentine’s Day can be found in the question, “Who was Saint Valentine?” The Roman Catholic Church has three saints named Valentine, or Valentinus. Of these three, the history of Valentine’s Day supposedly honors the first Saint Valentine. So, who was Saint Valentine? Saint Valentine was a third-century priest in Rome. He was martyred. Any further answer to, “Who was Saint Valentine?,” is speculation. Yet, there are three theories about the history of Valentine’s Day. Each attempts to answer, “Who was Saint Valentine?” Who Was Saint Valentine? A Priest Marrying Couples. According to this theory on the history of Valentine’s Day, Saint Valentine was a priest during Emperor Claudius II’s reign. Because Claudius II believed single men were better soldiers than married men, he outlawed marriage for young men. Saint Valentine did not adhere to Claudius II’s proclamation, however, and continued to perform marriages in secret. When he was discovered, Saint Valentine was imprisoned and sentenced to death. Who Was Saint Valentine? A Priest Freeing Christians. Another theory about the history of Valentine’s Day contends that Saint Valentine was sentenced to death for free Christians from Roman prisons. This is the least romantic history of Valentine’s Day, but it portrays Saint Valentine as a heroic and strong figure.
Who Was Saint Valentine? The First Valentine. According to this romantic theory of the history of Valentine’s Day, Saint Valentine sent the first valentine. He supposedly fell in love while imprisoned. Perhaps it was the jailor’s daughter who he loved. Whoever the lady was, he sent her a letter signed, “From your Valentine.” The truth is, no one can answer,
“Who was Saint Valentine?” Since it remains unknown, the question for today is not, “Who was Saint Valentine?” Rather the question is, “Who is Saint Valentine now?” Whoever he was, Saint Valentine is remembered as a strong, heroic and romantic figure. It is no wonder lovers have been sending love letters in his name, as valentines, ever since the Middle Ages.
The course of true love never did run smooth. ~William Shakespeare The Newport News

Top Ten Valentines Gifts for Women By Debra Proctor Choose from the top ten Valentines Gifts for women and you can’t go wrong. Women place much more importance on Valentine’s Day than men do, so the last thing you want to do is gloss over this important day. Show her she’s special by giving her one of the best Valentine’s gifts possible. Here’s a list of the top ten Valentines gifts for women to give you some great ideas. #1 - Get Away Trip For the Valentines experience of a lifetime, treat her to a romantic getaway trip. You can go all out and book a trip to St. Maarten or Belize or stay local and have a romantic weekend at a bed and breakfast or spa. Either way, she’ll know she’s special with a gift like this. #2 - Flowers There’s not a woman alive who doesn’t appreciate flowers and now giving flowers is easier than ever. You can go the traditional route and order from your local florist or save some time and order online. If you love the idea of giving her flowers but need to save some cash, most grocery and discount stores have live bouquets. Pick a pretty bouquet, choose one of the vases, add a pretty bow and you’re all set. #3 - Handcrafted Gift Are you handy? If you are, think about your hobby and how you can use it to create a one-of-a-kind gift. If you’re not so handy, shop local stores that sell handcrafted items. You’ll usually find these tucked away in shopping strips or in the historic or tourist section of town. If you prefer to shop online, try Etsy. com. This entire website is filled with all handcrafted items for you to choose from. #4 - Personalized Gift When you give a personalized gift, it tells the woman you love that you went the extra mile and actually put some thought into the gift. Shop websites like www.ThingsRemembered.com or www.PersonalCreations for items you can have engraved, monogrammed or to have a special picture turned into a canvas print. #5 - Jewelry Jewelry is right up there with candy and flowers. Your decision here revolves around your budget and what kind of statement you want to make. Fine jewelry shows a woman that you are getting pretty serious while less expensive fashion jewelry is just fun to receive. Shop for fine jewelry at stores like Jared.com, Zales.com and Kay.com. You can find a good assortment of pretty fashion jewelry at any major department store. Necklaces and Page 8
bracelets are easiest to buy as you don’t have to get a certain size. #6 - Breakfast in Bed If you want to really impress the women in your life, treat her to breakfast in bed. Clueless about what to cook and how to do it? Let AskMen. com give you some help with their breakfast in bed article. #7 - Love Letter Writing a love letter might make you feel silly, but your loved one will be thrilled. For those of you who need help doing this (and who doesn’t?) read this article on How to Write a Love Letter> for step-by-step instructions. #8 - Romantic Dinner Do you have a special restaurant as a couple? Where did you go for your first date? Make reservations at your special restaurant or recreate your first date and relive the memories. Women love taking trips down memory lane. #9 - Creative Dates If the love of your life is adventurous, dinner and a movie won’t impress her. Instead, give her the thrill of a lifetime by planning something adventurous and exciting. Look creatively at the area you live. What are the special tourist attractions? Do you live in wine country? Take a tour of a winery and have a picnic complete with wine and cheese. Is it warm in your part of the country on Valentine’s Day? Try whitewater rafting. For thrill seekers, set up a date for bungee jumping, hang gliding, hot air balloon or a helicopter ride. #10 - Candy Diamonds may be a girl’s best friend, but let’s face it, all women love chocolate. Wow her with a gourmet chocolate assortment like Godiva Gold Gourmet Chocolate Gift Basket
The Newport News
or Homemade Gourmet Chocolate Candy Bars. The main thing to remember about giving a gift that makes a lasting impression on the woman you love, is the thought. The special woman in your life will be happy as long as
she knows you put some thought into choosing the gift and that it comes from the heart. Use this list of top ten Valentines Day gifts for ideas and you’ll soon find the perfect gift for that perfect woman in your life.

A Night with Gatsby Benefits Local Foster Youth at the 2015 Anaheim Ducks Jubilee Photos by Ann Chatillon Ducks team captain Ryan Getzlaf with Tracy and Mike Bilek Flapper dresses, top hats, and tails abounded at The Colony House in Anaheim in support of Orangewood Children’s Foundation. A sold-out crowd of 500 guests joined the Anaheim Ducks for their Great Gatsby style “Ducks Jubilee” casino night, bringing a roaring ‘20s retrofit to the annual fan-favorite costumed cocktail event. Ducks players, dressed in tails, top hats, and gold bow-ties and pocket squares, mingled with the crowd, posed for photos, and joined guests at the gaming tables. The event committee was led by Orangewood’s 44 Women for Children auxiliary members Kelly Bozza and Stacey Kinney, and the title sponsor was The Klein Family (Bill and Jenny Klein and daughter Whitney were in attendance). Guests enjoyed ‘20s style cocktails which included the Gin Rickey, Manhattan and The French 75. There was also a champagne tower, various buffet stations, catered by 24 Carrots Catering and Events the buffet stations located throughout the venue had a Great Gatsby Inspired menu which included International cheese display, grilled petite lamb chops, shrimp cocktails, phyllo-encrusted spinach stuffed mushrooms, gorgonzola crusted beef tenderloin crostini, mashed potato martini station and a carving station with prime rib. At the floating dessert display guests enjoyed Salted caramel tart, crème brulee spoon, a yummy deconstructed snickers in a Ducks player Corey Perry, Michele Ryan and Tim Ryan (Ducks EVP shot glass, chocolate pot de crème, mini lavender bars, key lime tarts and & COO and Orangewood board member) pecan bourbon tarts The musical entertainment, Blazing Pianos, got the crowd out on the dance floor, dancing to cover tunes from the ‘20s to today. A jazz trio provided themed background music for guests in “The Captain’s Club” casino room, where Vegas-style games of Blackjack, Craps and Roulette were offered. An extensive variety of silent auction items were available for bidding. Guests could also purchase tickets for five opportunity prizes. Up for grabs were Anaheim Ducks Autographed Wine Package Item; a basket with an Anaheim Ducks #10 Corey Perry Autographed Jersey, Edmonton Oilers #4 Taylor Hall Autographed Jersey and four (4) Plaza Level tickets to the April 1, 2015 Anaheim Ducks vs. Edmonton Oilers game. There was also a Toshiba Slim LED 40” TV; a Strider Paddleboard package from Jimmy Styks including one paddleboard, adjustable paddle, leash, fin and storage bag with 2 paddleboard sessions/ 1 Kayak During a brief program, Ducks Head Coach Bruce Boudreau welcomed the crowd. Boudreau drew laughter and applause when he commented on his top hat and tails attire, saying, “It’s been suggested that I bear a striking resemblance to a board game character. But, no, I am not the Monopoly man!” Orangewood CEO, Chris Simonsen, thanked the crowed and the Ducks organization for supporting the Foundation, saying “Thanks especially to Ducks player Matt Belesky, event co-chair Stacey Kinney and Ducks the Ducks players who are so generous and gracious with their time at player Devante Smith-Pelly tonight’s event.” Also in the crowd were Ducks co-owner and long-time Orangewood supporter, Susan Samueli (founding chair of the Orangewood’s 44 Women for Children auxiliary and also an Orangewood board member); Ducks players including Team Captain Ryan Getzlaf, NHL 2012 All-Star Corey Perry, Cam Fowler, and goalie Frederik (Freddy) Andersen; title sponsors Jenny and Bill Klein and daughter Whitney Klein; Kelly and Jim Mazzo; past 44 Women board chair Lupe Erwin; and Orangewood board member Sandi Jackson and husband Doug Jackson. Founded in 1981, Orangewood Children’s Foundation is one of the leading providers of services to current and former foster youth. Their mission is to provide life-changing prevention and intervention programs for abused and neglected children, young adults and at-risk families through one-on-one support and community partnerships to end the cycle of child abuse. Last year they helped over 1,500 children and teens with programs that prepare them to make a successful transition from the foster care system to independent adulthood. Their programs focus on education, employment, housing, life skills and basic needs. Without the Foundation’s support and guidance, these children can become homeless, unemployed or incarcerated.

capistrano Mission PROJECT to lure back the swallows Mission San Juan Capistrano’s enterprising Swallows Vocalization Project is now underway for the fourth and final season, an effort to lure the popular birds onto the mission grounds. The Swallows Vocalization Project incorporates speakers that play swallows courtship calls and songs in an effort to lure the swallows, which migrate from Argentina each March before returning to Argentina in October. The number of swallows nesting at the mission has diminished over time because of urbanization, which has given the swallows more options to build their mud homes. The Swallows Vocalization Project idea came from swallows expert Dr. Charles Brown, who was summoned to the mission in 2012 from the University of Tulsa, where he is a professor of biological sciences. Dr. Brown’s idea has worked. Swallows that flew overhead and might not have explored the mission and considered it a place to nest are now descending to the mission grounds, where they can build nests. “The recording is of courtship songs that males use to attract females. And males would be attracted too because they are very social birds,”
Dr. Brown said. “It’s a matter of attracting them in; we know they are overhead and in the area.” The project involves a systematic program of playing the courtship calls and songs a few times a day, when the weather is good and during the times the swallows would be foraging. Dr. Brown has suggested that this be the final year of the Swallows Vocalization Project so that he can incorporate a new phase in attracting the bird. Stayed tuned for Dr. Brown’s next idea. To set up an interview with Dr. Brown, please email joe@juvecreative.com. About Mission San Juan Capistrano: Known as the “Jewel of the Missions,” Mission San Juan Capistrano is a historic landmark and museum that boasts of quality permanent exhibits featuring original artifacts as well as traveling and temporary exhibits on a wide variety of topics. The site itself serves as a living outdoor museum with original buildings constructed by Native Americans in the 18th century including the Serra Chapel, Great Stone Church, and the original padres’ quarters of the South Wing. The Mission was founded on November 1, 1776 by Padre Junipero
Serra as the seventh in the chain of the twenty-one California missions established by Spain, and is Orange County’s only mission. Every year, over 50,000 students visit the Mission and engage in an inspirational learning experience via the Mission Matters programming, as part of their State required California history studies. Mission San Juan Capistrano is owned by the Diocese of Orange and is supported by the Mission Preservation Foundation, which is comprised of business and community leaders committed to ensuring the long term preservation and viability of Orange County’s only Mission.

Sharing Valentine’s Day Love I love that we have a day designed to celebrate love! And I enjoy finding creative ways to show the people in my life how much I care about them. This year, I’m sharing some ideas from the kitchen and from the heart so that you can put some extra L-OV-E into your Valentine’s Day. L for a love letter you write to someone special. Whether it’s a spouse, a child, or a dear friend, take some time to write down the reasons they are so special to you. It will be a gift they treasure for a long time. O for organizing the family photos in a new way. Create a slide show on a DVD, a photo book or calendar, or even a family website where you can share pictures and stories with outof-town loved ones. You’ll preserve old photos and help create new memories. V for Valentine cookies like these Chocolate Chip Cookie Hearts. They’re a simple way to share some
love. Even the youngest bakers can help make them by pouring ingredients and using cookie cutters to make the heart shapes. Have fun decorating them with pink, red and white icing and Valentine sprinkles. E for an elegant dessert like this Chocolate Raspberry Mousse Pie. It’s easy enough for anyone to make, yet pretty enough to show off at a Valentine’s Day party or a romantic dinner. For more Valentine recipes you can share, visit www.verybestbaking. com. Chocolate Chip Cookie Hearts Prep: 20 minutes Baking: 18 minutes (Makes about 18 hearts with 2 1/2- to 3-inch heart cutter) 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon salt 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened 3/4 cup granulated sugar 3/4 cup packed brown sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 large eggs 2 cups (12-ounce package) Nestlé Toll House Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels 1 cup chopped nuts Metal or heat-safe heart cookie cutter(s) of desired size(s), 1 inch
in height Various icings, sprinkles, Nestlé Toll House Semi-Sweet Chocolate Mini Morsels PREHEAT oven to 375°F. Line 15 x 10-inch jelly-roll pan with foil; lightly grease. COMBINE flour, baking soda and salt in small bowl. Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract in large mixer bowl until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in morsels and nuts. Spread dough into prepared pan. BAKE for 18 to 22 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely in pan on wire rack. Lift from pan with foil handles to cutting board. Cut out hearts with cookie cutter(s). Remove hearts while peeling away foil. DECORATE as desired. Chocolate Raspberry Mousse Pie Prep: 15 minutes Cooking: 5 minutes Refrigerating: 2 1/2 hours Yield: 8 servings 1 can (12 fluid ounces) Nestlé Carnation Evaporated Milk 2 large egg yolks 2 cups (12-ounce package) Nestlé Toll House Semi-Sweet
Chocolate Morsels 1 container (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed, divided 1 container (6 ounces) or 1 1/3 cups fresh raspberries, divided 1 prepared 9-inch (6 ounces) chocolate crumb crust WHISK together evaporated milk and egg yolks in medium saucepan. HEAT over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture is very hot and thickens slightly; do not boil. Remove from heat; stir in morsels until completely melted and mixture is smooth. Pour into large bowl. Refrigerate for 30 minutes until cool. Gently stir in 2 cups whipped topping. REFRIGERATE for 2 hours until thickened. Sprinkle 1 cup raspberries over crust. Spoon chilled chocolate mousse over raspberries. Dollop remaining 1 cup whipped topping on center of pie; top with remaining raspberries.
Petite Sweet Treats for Valentine’s Day Looking for a yummy, unique way to say “Happy Valentine’s Day”? Beautiful, bite-sized, heart-shaped cakes offer a delicious solution. Whether for your sweetheart, friends or family, or perhaps a special dessert for a romantic dinner, these tiny treats from the Wilton Test Kitchen will delight. Enrobed in pastel icing, decorated with shimmering matching sugar pearls, these little gems are a cinch to make. Use a cake mix for convenience and bake in a petite heart-shaped silicone mold. Cakes pop right out of the mold after cooling (and the silicone is super easy to clean after baking). Icing the hearts couldn’t be simpler, even though it might appear that you need an expert hand. The secret? Ready-to-use decorator icing in a can. Microwave the icing – in the can (one can at a time) – until it reaches pouring consistency, and tint with pastel icing colors. Pour over the cooled cakes to cover tops and
sides, then arrange pearls on top. Perfect, Petite Pastel Hearts look bakery beautiful, but are lovingly homemade. How special is that? For more sensational ideas for Valentine’s Day or other celebrations, visit www.wilton.com. Petite Pastel Hearts Each serves 1 1 package (about 18 ounces) white or yellow cake mix Water, eggs and vegetable oil to prepare mix 4 cans (16 ounces each) White Ready-to-Use Decorator Icing Royal Blue, Rose, Kelly Green and Lemon Yellow Icing Color Green, Yellow, Pink and Blue Sugar Pearls Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray Silicone Petite Heart Mold with vegetable pan spray. Prepare cake mix following package instructions. Fill silicone mold cavities 2/3 full. Bake, supported by cookie sheet, 8 to12 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center of cakes comes
out clean. Cool in mold on cooling grid 15 minutes; remove cakes from mold and cool completely. Repeat with remaining cake batter. Remove lid and foil seal from canned icing. Heat each can in microwave at Defrost (30% power) 20-30 seconds; stir. Repeat until consistency of icing will pour. Stir in
icing color. Place cooled cakes on cooling grid positioned over cookie pan. Working with 2 to 3 treats at a time, pour icing on center of cake; continue covering top so icing drips down and covers sides. Let set briefly; position Sugar Pearls before icing sets completely.

5 Gifts He’ll Love on Valentine’s Day By Alison Harrison How to pick a valentine’s gift for the man in your life? You love him no matter what. You don’t mind that he drops his shirts on the floor, can’t hear you when he watches football, and still likes to eat pizza out of the box in front of the Tivo. But choosing the perfect Valentines gift for him is hard. Here are 5 ways to show him you care on Valentine’s Day without being too cutesy (unless he likes that). A beer gift basket Beer on the Wall has a great selection of beer gift baskets and beer of the month options. This will probably delight him more than any box of Valentine’s Day chocolates. If he’s not a beer drinker, then how about some of the vinyards and wine sellers who offer wine clubs with gift boxes or monthly deliveries? Cookie bouquet There are lots of surveys stating that men actually want to receive flowers on Valentine’s Day. Uh-huh. I’m betting he’d rather have a “bouquet” of his favorite cookies instead. Try Cookies By Design for a great selection. Or if you’re feeling domestic, why not bake him up a batch?
Not sweet toothed? Many meat producers offer gift packs of bacon, steaks or jerky. Or sign him up to a farmers vegetable box delivery so he can whip up his favorite vegetarian food all year round. Personalized T’s If he’s more of a jeans and t-shirt kind of a guy than a fancy restaurant customer, try Café Press for a range of fantastic T’s or create your own with a personal message. Looking for something a little more upscale? Cufflinks or collar stays can be engraved with initials or special messages. Tickets If you have the cash, buy some front row seats to his favorite team or band. if you’re on a more meager budget this year,then try tickets to a film that he wants to see - especially if it’s a type you’re not so keen on. You get the double benefit of having bought the gift and letting him see that you’ll go out of your way to make him happy. Weekend away Just you and your honey in a cosy cottage with a hot tub and the sound of the sea. Or a swanky hotel room
