In 2010, A Flood of Green Valentine Day Gifts Ideas

Yes, Valentine's Day 2010 is fast approaching.

Date is Sunday, February 14, in case you did not mark your calendar.

Inhabitat lists 13 Gifts from Sweet to Kinky.

On the other hand, I like the playful Me So Thorny candle from A Scent of Scandal. The line happens to be vegan and cruelty free and its founders grew up in my home state of New Jersey.

Seattles' s animal lovers can head to the Woodland Park Zoo on Saturday February 13 (10 AM to 3 PM) for a Valentine's Day Enrichment Celebration:

The program:

"Enjoy a day of animals being treated to herbal bouquets, heart-shaped steaks, heart-shaped ice pops made of fruit juice, honey, strawberries and cranberries, and more. The special treats are part of the zookeepers' ongoing efforts to help enrich the lives of the zoo's animals, promote natural animal behavior, keep animals mentally stimulated and engage zoo visitors."

David was reminding us of his upcoming Rustic New American dinner at the James Beard Foundation on March 23rd ($125 a head). Visiting the James Beard Foundation site for more details, I finally noticed (I might be the last one to) that this year James Beard Foundation Awards Nominees will be...

Wine is a Woman, Wine is a Mystery, What Makes a Wine Great?

Feb 9
There must be as many opinions on what makes a wine great as there are French cheeses. The online guide to 'France's best wines' Le Guide Vindicateur asks "le meilleur vin du monde... Selon vous, est-ce le meilleur selon le plus grand critique du monde, ou le meilleur selon le plus grand nombre d'inconnus?". In the English translation: The best wine in the world, according to you, is it the best because the best known...
