Children's Valentine Celebration at Sotto Sopra Restaurant

What is Valentine’s Day but a day about love, all types of love, including family love!  For the third year in a row, Sotto Sopra Restaurant is continuing their tradition of celebrating families during Valentine’s Day week with a special evening focused on the children.  With that said, they invite parents to bring their children to Sotto Sopra Restaurant at 405 N. Charles Street to celebrate an early Valentine’s Day on Monday, February 11^th.   The children will enjoy this event filled with kid-oriented entertainment, surprises, along with dining on a specially designed children’s menu.  Chef/owner Riccardo Bosio’s daughters, Amelia and Victoria, will be the hostesses for the evening.

A Chocolate Affair to remember - the winners are!

This affair lacked Gary Grant and a missed meeting at the Empire State Building. It still was quite memorable. Being a judge at the 19th annual Chocolate Affair isn’t an easy task, you have to taste everything from chocolate savory dishes to chocolates, to non-chocolate foods, drinks both alcoholic and non-alcoholic from 5:30 to 7 p.m. and be ready to vote. It might sound like a dream but a small taste of everything is a lot and my blood sugar was in the upper stratosphere. And not every dish was a hit, if you get my drift.

When I turned in my judging clipboard so went my notes and I am bereft that I can’t pay homage to all the wonderful participants properly and my memory, that my friend comes and goes.
