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

By Kathryn (Kathy) McKenzie Nichols If you live in coastal California and are wondering when to prune your roses, just remember this: After the start of the new year is the best time to prune. Experts say when it comes to pruning, January is the most favorable month in which to do it. That’s because it needs to be done before new growth starts popping out. If you prune too late, you may end up stunting the rose’s growth and hurting its chances to bloom. It’s a delicate balance in coastal California, because roses often never completely go dormant, as they do in colder parts of the country. Our temperatures rarely dip below 30 degrees. Sometimes roses don’t appear as though they’ve entered dormancy at all. Nevertheless, if you prune, January is probably your safest bet. This is usually when coastal California will get its coldest temperatures of the year. The weather often starts warming in February and new growth can be quite rapid at that point. And yes, most roses do better after being pruned. Cutting away the dead growth and excess canes will enhance the beauty of the plant as well as its health. Pruning encourages strong new growth as well as improving air circulation throughout the plant, which can help curtail the fungal diseases that some roses are subject to. Gardeners should arm themselves with a pair of long, thick garden gloves, a bypass pruner and a long-handled lopper or hand saw. The gloves are to prevent thorn pricks, while the lopper or hand saw will help you with stub-
born canes. The bypass pruner is for more precise work. Also handy are a small rake to clean up debris. Yo u r t o o l s should be sharp and clean for efficient cutting. If you go to buy a new tool, check for ergonomic features such as padded handles that will make the chore easier on your hands. Modern roses like hybrid teas, grandifloras and floribundas should be cut back by about half their height. Cuts should be made at a 45-degree angle just above a bud whenever possible. Also, pay attention to the shape of the rosebush. Unless it is trained into a tree, you will want to make it into an open vase shape, cutting out any canes in the center or those that are crossing. Also eliminate any dead, broken, weak or diseased stems or leaves. Your rose will look a bit bare when you are finished, but rest assured, it will grow quite quickly given a few warm days. Other rose varieties need more specialized care. Old rose varieties don’t need to be pruned, except for
shaping. Ramblers, climbers, repeat bloomers, Bourbons and Portlands should be pruned lightly to remove dead wood and can be pruned more thoroughly after their first bloom. Be sure to pick up what you’ve cut off and dispose of it appropriately. This removes any source of potential disease, as well as dangerous thorns. If you have a question about pruning or what should be done to your particular roses, contact your local nursery professional or rose society chapter.
Your love has made a place in my heart where I thought there was no room for anything else. You have made flowers grow where I cultivated dust and stones.” -Robert Jordan The Newport News

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.”

Sharing Valentine’s Day Love 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.

Corona del Mar’s sota is an eXCiting neW JaPanese restaUrant the Freshest Fish daily, a sUPerB saKe and Wine seleCtion, With serViCe that Can Be CoMPared to that oF a ‘Cheers’ atMosPhere. At SOTA, Chef/Owner Sota Akiyama has been in practice since the young age of 16. Coming to the US when he was 12 was quite the culture shock, but the foodie in him had only awakened. Sota has worked along many master chefs and considers his learning still only just beginning. He has worked up and down the coast and also owned a catering business. All his life ventures have finally lead to this, his own restaurant.
In the heart of OC, this diamond in the rough restaurant space, had some major cleaning up. Of the menu, the service, and the surface interior. All of it was done with in 2 months. The menu of course has been created for years by Sota, on little scraps of paper all around his home. Like a musician would be when they think of a new verse. Sota, who also studied music at Cal State Long Beach, creates his dishes like an artist. Like a composer. When asked “why name your restaurant SOTA after yourself”. Sota tells me “so friends near and far know where to find me. This is my home. And I want it to feel like their home too. I want my customers to feel as if they can call me personally or the restaurant and ask for a special request of any kind. I want them to know that what you get at my restaurant is what they will always receive here. My friends know that when it comes to service and food that if I can put a smile on their face and they are having fun when they are with me that this is how a restaurant would be when I open one. So to have the restaurant be named after myself, its a way to solidify the fact that when they enter those doors they are entering into my home.” And with that philosophy, the seats have been packed since their soft opening in July.
And the reGrand opening in October has only increased the rush. During the months in between Sota had Jason Neddleman of Origin Teak and Shaun Schisler of SS Interior come in and sweep the surface with teak, stone and warm earthy textures. “The two did an amazing job transforming the space and making it feel so welcoming.” Sota’s food has been inspired by his years of training under master chefs, from his growing up in Japan, and mostly from the discerning and ever changing palette of his Orange County following. Sota combines ingredients such as daikon wasabi and yuzu to create a dressing atop crisp thick veggies and mixed greens. Every day he is shopping for the freshest ingredients. The fish that comes in regularly is inspected and made sure to be the best of the best “if its not, I dont hesitate to return, I want my fish, my veggies and ingredients to be perfect. If not, I can’t make tasteful food. I don’t want sauces to hide the natural taste. I use them to accompany the dishes and enhance flavors”. When asked what is his favorite on the menu and the most popular dish, Sota said, “ The Hama Jala which is very thin slices of yellowtail topped with serano chili and drizzled with a citrus soy. And the SOTA Pop is the most popular roll with Salmon, Tuna, Shrimp, Snow Crab, Mango, Avocado, Jicama, and cilantro wrapped in cucumber with a special homemade ponzu.” SOTA has a full lunch and dinner menu. And is anticipating other specialty menus for the future. Possibly happy hour, and a kids menu. But for now the menu reflects his traditional Japanese ingredients with the creativity of his own. Desserts and daily specials are changed up regularly, so that he can get a feel for what his new customers are liking. But to Sota, its his passion, his life, and maybe he will change things with the seasons or the revolving customers and the loyal base he already has. One thing for sure is that no request is turned down. Sota is always inspired. Sota is located at 3344 East Coast Highway Corona del Mar, CA 92625. Contact them at: www.sotasushi.com or call 949-675-0771.

Center Club Raises $30k at Grand Re-Opening Following a multi-million-dollar renovation, Center Club celebrated its Grand Re-Opening and Annual Charity Classic fundraiser by unveiling its new and tech savvy Club to the Orange County business and social community. This year’s Charity Classic Fundraiser exceeded everyone’s expectations by raising $30,000 for the three selected Charities; Orange County Museum of Art, MDA Augie’s Quest, and Employee Partners Care Foundation. With over 400 attending, this was also a time to honor its founder, Henry T. Segerstrom. “It is hard to express in words about how proud I am to be working with Henry Segerstrom,” stated Chair of the Club’s Board of Governors, Dr. Victoria Collins. New at the Center Club were a plethora of items but one that everyone enjoyed was the Encore Lounge. This area where most guests gathered features an upscale bar with a gastro pub-style menu, a media center with a 103 inch flat screen TV, cabanas with TVs and an elegant communal dining table complete with IPads. Guests attending enjoyed great food, drinks, and live entertainment. During the course of the evening, guests feasted on a Slider Station consisting of a Buffalo Chicken Slider, Filet Mignon Slider, Truffle Chips and House Made Cheetos, a Korean Short Rib Taco Bar, an Authentic Sushi Bar, and sumptuous Desserts including French Macaroons, Root Beer Floats, Lemon Meringue Lollipops, Chocolate Cream Pies, and Chocolate Pate and Peanut Butter Crunch. “This year’s Charity Classic demonstrates the scope of Orange County’s business and social leaders who have come forward to generously support important missions that improve lives right here in our community, stated Event Co-chairs Richard Ward and Liza Krassner. The Orange County Museum of Art enriches the lives of a diverse and changing community through modern and contemporary art. Visit www.ocma. net for more information. Augie Nieto founded Life Fitness over 40 years ago. If you’ve stepped into a gym since then, you’ve seen his work. His quest in that time was to make the world healthier through physical fitness. Now his quest has expanded as in 2005 Augie was diagnosed with ALS. Since then, Augie and his family have worked with the Muscular Dystrophy Association to find a cure for this disease. The Nietos work closely with MDA staff to coordinate fundraising

Wedding Guestbook Ideas By J.C. Meeker Many couples these days are opting to do something a little more creative for their wedding guestbook. Instead of the traditional lined paper guestbook that people sign there names in, guests are asked to sign there names on something a little more unique. Check out these 37 cool wedding guestbook ideas. I have created a Pinterest board to help you visualize the idea and see how other people have brought these ideas to life. A Polaroid message guestbook would be a lot of fun for the guests to interact with. Frame a large blackboard and ask your guests to take a Polaroid photo of them and post the photo to the board and write a message. Ask your guests to write a message on a piece of paper and roll it up and place in a bottle. This message in a bottle guestbook would be great for a beach or nautical themed wedding. It would also make a great conversation piece for your home. A birthday calendar guestbook serves as a dual purpose. Ask your guests to sign their name to the date of their birth on the calendar. This also lets the couple know when everyone’s birthdays are and they can send a nice card to their guests on their birthday with an additional thank you for being a part of their lives. Ask your guests to sign some nice stones and keep them in a jar as an artistic display in the couples home or us them in a rock garden. Having your guests sign Christmas ornaments is a festive addition to a Christmas or winter wedding. These ornaments will be used to decorate the couples’s tree as they celebrate their first Christmas together as a married couple. Guests could sign large Champaign bottles and the happy couple could crack a bottle open on their upcoming anniversaries. What would even be nicer is to save the Champaign bottles for a milestone like their 10-year anniversary and share these bottles with some of the guests that originally signed them at their 10-anniversary party. Large monogram letters would make a great guestbook that could be hung in the couples home as a piece of art for one of their rooms. Plates are another idea that could be signed by guests and hung as an artistic display in their home. Paper butterflies punched out of paper can be signed and framed to make a really pretty piece of artwork. Be creative with the type of paper you use. I would highly recommend using scrapbook paper because the papers are typically treated so they do not fade. However, if you want to use something
like old sheet music you can purchase a can of archival spray that you can spray your papers with so that they will last for years to come. Also be creative with the shape. You do not have to use a butterflies, any shape that would look great framed in your home would be perfect. Guests could take photos of them with a Polaroid camera and place them in an already made scrapbook with a message to the happy couple. This is really awesome because at the end of the day you have a completed Polaroid photo scrapbook and the bride and groom didn’t have to do a thing to it. Keep the cover blank and later add a photo of the couple in their wedding attire or the wedding party or you could use an engagement photo as the cover. Advise cards are fun for the guests to fill out as an alternative to a guestbook. These cards could be stored in a wide variety of boxes and containers. The advice could be serious or funny. A nice way for each guest to give the bride and groom a personal message. Balloon picture is another really fun idea. A framed photo of a bride and groom holding a large number of balloons in which each guest will sign. Makes for a great piece to hang in their home. Asking your guests to sign quilting squares or completed quilt is a really unique idea. This quilt would look great in the new couples home. A globe that the guests could sign is another piece that would look great in a den or man cave. For those jet-setting couples this could be a fun addition to a travel themed wedding. Wine corks signed by guests are a
creative idea that could be stored in a really beautiful glass jar. Could be beautifully displayed in a Tuscan themed kitchen or a rustic room. A guestbook tree is a cute idea where guests hang cards they sign with messages on them. Large engagement or wedding photo would be a beautiful piece to have your guests sign and could be hung in a great room or family room of the couples home. Having an engagement scrapbook made with lots of extra room for signatures and messages would be another awesome guestbook idea. Wine bottles signed by guests can be set aside to be cracked open on the couples 1st, 5th, 10th, etc. anniversary. A monogrammed canvas board would be another awesome piece guests could sign and could later hang in the couples’ home. Guests could sign ceramic tiles that could be used in the home on walls, decorative pieces or furniture. I loved this peacock picture I saw on Pinterest where the guests sign the feathers of the bird. It would be really beautiful for a peacock themed wedding. A video guestbook is really fun for the guests and the bride and groom. This is fun for the couple to actually see their guests give them a message. Something they will cherish forever! A piece of art on canvas that might go with the theme of a room in their home would be a nice piece to have everyone sign. A guest blog is another fun high-tech idea. A computer can be set up for the
guests to jump on and leave a message. The fun part about this is that everyone can check out the blog and see what other wrote! Postcards signed by guests are a great idea for those designation weddings. Purchase post cards that have photos of area attractions and landmarks of the place the wedding is held. Ask guests to sign them with a message or advice. This would also be a nice idea for those couples that plan or would like to travel together. You could have postcards of places the couple has been or would like to visit together. These photo postcards would look beautiful compiled in a scrapbook. Another unique idea is to have a large butcher block, bar or counter top signed by guests to be installed in the couples home. A blank journal book would be a really nice idea for those that would like their guests to leave them messages and advice. This would look great as a personal coffee table book for the couple. Vinyl records are becoming more and more like a pieces of art. Ask guests to sign records and hang them in an artistic way on a wall of the couples home. Great for those couples with a passion for music. Having guests sign a guitar is a really cool idea. This could be displayed on a wall or nestled in the corner of a home. Large wooden music notes (monogrammed letters or letters the spell out a word) signed by guests would make a cool wall accent for any room.

The purported owner(s) of said property is (are): Mitzi McCook AKA Mitzi Adams McCook, an unmarried woman. The property address and other common designation, if any, of the real property is purported to be: 8 Pacific Winds Newport Beach, CA 92657, APN 478-452-12. The undersigned trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Sale is: $10,099.28. The opening bid at the foreclosure sale may be more or less than this estimate. In addition to cash, the trustee will accept a cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn on a state or federal credit union or a check drawn on state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or the endorsee as a matter of right.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER AND ALL OTHER INTERESTED PARTIES: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale.

Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. IMPORTANT NOTICE: Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the sale shall be subject to the following as provided in California Civil Code Section 1367.4(c)4: “A non judicial foreclosure sale by an association to collect upon a debt for delinquent assessments shall be subject to a right of redemption.

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 Page 18
department store. Necklaces and 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.
