  After seeing those truffles, I might have to stop by Sweet Tooth! We plan on staying home and lazing about on Valentine’s Day. We’ll cook dinner for each other using all the great stuff we’ve picked up from The Stock Pot over the years. Attending one of their cooking classes would be a dream come true!

  I’m celebrating Valentine’s Day with my fiancee. We’re going to have a seafood medley dinner of scallops and lobster tail with a great bottle of wine, a fire and soft music followed by some dancing.

  My Valentines day plans are to invite a bunch of us single gals out to dinner for a Valentines day feast! Maybe head on over to Shogun for some great food and entertainment! Love the onion volcano! Then maybe head back to my house for karaoke and some Topeca Coffee. Sounds like a wonderful Valentines day to me!

  I’m playing the part of cupid for Valentine’s Day. I’ve made arrangements to keep my nephew over night while my BIL & sister go out for a dinner overnight date. Since I already had one sib’s child, I’m getting my brother’s kids too. We are planning to go out for chinese, maybe PF Changs, & finish up w/ a slumber party @ my place.

  Cosi’s is my absolute favorite place to relax for lunch or dinner! One of my goals this year is to improve my cooking and what better way to do that than at the Stock Pot! I would love to win any of these amazing gifts! Thanks for all your great offers.

  Well, this will be a tough Valentine’s Day for us as it is the first birthday for a family member who passed away just under a year ago. However, we will try to be positive and enjoy the day and the love and relationships we still have here!

  I will start the day, like I do every weekend day, with Topeca Coffee. Then, in the spirit of the cooking classes at the Stock Pot, I will prepare a home made meal and cuddle up with our animals in front of a fire and just be grateful for all the love in our lives.

  We have a new little one with us this Valentine’s Day so we probably won’t be doing much but maybe we can get a babysitter and check out the Stock Pot because that looks awesome! I’d love to sample some delicious looking treats from The Sweet Tooth, too!

  I’m going to cook for my love (and my little kiddo love) and there will be lots of flourless chocolate cake. And we’ll smear everything we can with nutella. Maybe we can do fondue and flambe some stuff.

  I will be in OKC at a Wrock concert! However, I have it on good authority that I’m getting some sweet tooth candy for the event. mmm I can’t wait- their mint truffles are sooo yummy! And my girlfriends adn I have been talking about going to shogun for weeks- a gift certificater would CERTAINLY help out with that desire! mmmmm yummy!!

  My husband and I will be cooking a very special Albanian meal. This is the second meal we are sharing in our Global Table series – we are literally making a meal from every country in the world… that’s 195, in 195 weeks. (http://globaltable.wordpress.com)The experience is bringing us together as we learn about other cultures

  We are always hunting for great kitchen tools and ingredients around Tulsa, especially now that we are working on this project. I’ve been able to get my ravioli form and some other neat tools at the Stock Pot.

  Happy Valentine’s Day and thank you for this promotion

  Call it cliche but I’m cooking Boeuf Bourguignon for my lady on Saturday night. Hopefully pair it with a nice Pinot or Cab and follow it up with something chocolate. Sunday brunch at one of our favorite spots – Brasserie. Off work for MLK on Monday so shop with her till she drops (which is much later than when I drop).
  I’ve never cooked Boeuf Bourguignon so a class from Stock Pot sure would help out tremendously! Breakfast at Cosi before shopping, re-energizing Grinders at Bellacino, flying shrimp dinner at Shogun. That is a perfect Valentine’s Day! Are TUMS included as well?
  Keep up the great work Tulsa Food Blog!

  There is talk of a road trip to this little hole in the wall steakhouse in Kanas, but we haven’t full committed to that yet.
  A night at Shogun sounds like perfection. I’m a huge fan. And anyone who knows me knows that Topeca is my #1 favorite coffee on the planet. Also? I work like a block from Cosi. They are excellent.

  So what I’m saying is that this giveaway is awesome!

  I am new to Tulsa & am so happy to have found this blog! I have been a fan of Topeca coffee for a while now & start each day with a cup (or 5) of Topeca coffee. I love that it is roasted right here in Tulsa! My husband has a big sweet tooth so now I know where to go to find his favorite candies & confections…thanks so much! We plan on spending Valentine’s Day cooking a new French dish we are learning to make at The Stock Pot Thursday night…we’ll see where the wine & fondue leads after that

  Oh and as far V-Day goes, it’ll be my husband’s choice where we go. He’s been working an awful lot lately so he deserves a nice day off to do whatever he’d like. Perhaps a nice dinner at Shogun will be in order

  Our Valentine’s plans are TBA- but we are leaning towards a show at the PAC with dinner (possibly Shoguns?) and definitely some chocolate (Sweet Tooth!). I’ve been eyeing classes at the Stock Pot for a few weeks now, what a wonder gift to round out the holiday! (*crosses fingers*)

• Steph Feb 8, 2010 at 2:00 pm

  My plans are a hotel room picnic with my Valentine! Maybe a grinder from Bellacino’s and some sweets from the Sweet Tooth. Breakfast should include some Topeca Coffee.

• Kate S Feb 8, 2010 at 2:08 pm

  V-alue my husband – Breakfast in bed (including coffee in a coffee mug)
  A- gift certificate to Stock Pot to him would be the gift that keeps on giving.
  L-unch at Bellacino’s with my peeps on Monday to hear what they got.
  E-njoy a lunch with my parents today– without them where would I be?
  N-ap time or cards – which should I do?
  T-ime to get dressed for the big night.
  Imagine dinner at Shogun’s with my honey!
  N-ightcap of coffee and candy from the Sweet Tooth Candy Co.
  E-ngage in dreams of the perfect day

  Put them all together and you get Valentine. The best day for love!

  P.S. Cosi Gift Certificate goes to my daughter so she can take Mom out to eat.

  We have plans to go to Molly’s Landing, however, we may chose to stop by Sweet Tooth to pick up some yummy sweets for our V-Day as well. We would love to make it a LONG romantic weekend and could learn to cook together at The Stock Pot and enjoy an entertaining evening at Shogun! Thanks to the sponsors for their donations – we will use them all!

  My husby and a I are foodies through and through and just love to visit locally-owned restaurants when we can. This website has been a great guide when we’re looking for a new spot to try!

  Our Valentine’s Day tradition consists of my man planning a fabulous meal (which is a treat because, while I normally do the meal-planning, he is great about picking something delicious, new and special each year!) After we put the kids to bed, we put on some tunes and get in the kitchen together and make culinary magic. This works out perfectly because tables and babysitters can be hard to come by on the Date Night of all date nights! Stress is eliminated and romance is maximized! We’ll usually try to go out to a local spot on a night close to Valentine’s Day. I think this year we may give Shogun a shot!
  As for gifts, we love coffee so I think I may pick up a package of Topeka coffee to give, and I’ve got my fingers crossed that my special someone pays a visit to the Stock Pot for a little sometime for me!

  In our house, Valentine’s Day is all about the kiddos. I always get my daughter a special treat. She loved the chocolate I got her from Sweet Tooth at Christmas so I’ll probably get some more from there. I love their sugar free goodies. So tasty! Maybe I’ll take her someplace special for lunch. I haven’t been to Cosi yet but I hear great things about it. Or Bellacinos. Or Shogun. So many tasty restaurants listed above! It makes it hard to choose! Maybe I’ll just stay home and play with some of the toys I’ve bought for myself at The Stock Pot.

  Valentines day will be my 13th Wedding Anniversary, just last night my husband asked me what I wanted for our anniversary…I said my typical mani/pedi BUT I am taking it all back as soon as he gets home, I want cooking lessons from The Stock Pot-I can not believe I have never been there…very cool giveaway!

  Roses are Red,
  Stock Pots are gray,
  Headed to Shogun for sushi,
  This Valentines Day!

  After tuna rolls and maki,
  (then maybe some hot Saki)
  We will head to Sweet Tooth Candy and Topeca Coffee!
  But Bellacinos and Cosi,
  No need to worry,
  ‘Cause the day after Valentine’s,
  To lunch and dinner we’ll hurry!

  For Valentine’s Day we are taking the kiddos (3 1/2 and 16 months) to their favorite spot Incredible Pizza for lunch & play! Would love to win this so that I can treat my husband for a change. Since I quit working to stay home with the kids (2 years now) we have cut out most of our eating out. We are foodies & enjoy fine wine as well. He would be so surprised to get to go out somewhere new & the stock pot is somewhere we have always wanted to go. And it would be a fabulous way for the kids & I to be able to show him how much we appreciate him & all he does for our family! He is the best husband & father. Thank you for this awesome giveaway & for your consideration.

  I’ll actually be taking my mom out to dinner for her 54th birthday on this year’s Valentine’s Day! She’s a wild woman who loves to cook…I often question her love for cooking to actually be greater than her love for me, her second-born. But, I digress.

  A few years back my sister and I took her to the Stock Pot for a cooking class. We made some of my favorite memories that evening – loved the cooking lesson, the tasting and maybe the wine… I’d love to take her again. Perhaps for Mother’s Day!

  I’m eager to be spending this Valentine’s Day with the woman who sacrificed so much to bring me around – she’s a pretty cool lady!

• april Feb 8, 2010 at 4:27 pm

  Wow! This is an amazing giveaway!
  I have a wonderful boyfriend who loves to play around in the kitchen, think weird science experiments but with not so much emphasis on the science part. He comes up with great flavor combinations but neither of us have a good set of basic cooking skills. We could really use some classes at the Stock Pot!
  The boyfriend has an indoor soccer game on Valentine’s day so we’ll probably have dinner Saturday instead, maybe double date with my awesome sister and her equally awesome boyfriend at Shogun! That’s our go to place when celebrations are in order.

  Thanks for all of the hard work that goes into your blog!

  Haven’t finalized V-Day plans yet, though will probably keep it lowkey. Maybe I will cook a romantic dinner. I love to cook and, therefore always enjoy browsing through the wonderful things at The Stockpot. Shogun is a favorite place of ours as well. The food is really good and it kind of feels like your not in Tulsa for a bit. I can tell you, I’ve gone through a lot of Topeca Coffee in the last year or so. I love knowing that it’s local and that the beans are freshly roasted!

  This Valentines Day, I’m hoping my boyfriend will surprise me with something special. I used to be stationed with the military in Japan and introduced him to teppanyaki when we met. We try to eat at Shoguns whenever we get a chance. I’d love to take cooking classes at the Stockpot because we travel in an RV for my boyfriend’s job as a pipeliner and creativity in cooking would break up the monotony in a tiny kitchen. A gift basket would really help us enjoy this Valentines Day while we’re at home before we have to get back on the road again.

• Erica Feb 8, 2010 at 5:01 pm

  We’re going to Ti Amo, where we’ve gone the past two years, but we’ll also be enjoying the best from Sweet Tooth (LOVE that place, especially for little tsochkies to give the friends and fam), and our USUAL date spot is Shogun (the fiance LOOOOVES it, would love to move in!!) so, we just wanted to switch things up for VDay. Oh, but we’re getting married at the mayo, so muchos topeca coffee for us all on our wedding day!

  Unfortunately we will probably be having Valentine’s dinner at McDonalds midway between Tulsa and OKC! We are exhibiting at An Affair of the Heart which ends on 2/14 and after packing up we will be heading home rather than having a romantic dinner. So we will have to make a cheeseburger as romantic as possible

• Mana Feb 8, 2010 at 5:28 pm

  My husband is going to be knee-deep in grad school papers on Sunday (Georgetown + online program = heavy work load and weekend deadlines), so our plan is to get to the Coffee House on Cherry Street (one of the original Topeka outlets!) early and stake out the side room by the door. We’ll have breakfast, he’ll research like crazy, and I’ll bribe the baristas into making foam hearts in his dirty chai!

  My birthday and Valentine’s Day are just three days apart, so I usually have a double dose of fun!

We plan to celebrate by cooking a meal together and snuggling in front of fireplace with a movie!

  This post reminded me of our 10th anniversary. We had dinner at Shoguns. We had such a great time with our cook. He actually invited us to the bar after dinner and treated us to several rounds of Saki. Great people! I highly recommend them consantly to friends because of the great memories they provided me and the wife. I think I just decided where to take her for valentines day which by the way is when we were engaged. I also want to say what a treat it would be to return to te stock pot. It would be my second class there. Michael Fusco was a blast. Anyway…..we love you Tulsa Food!!!

  I have been checking out different websites to see where I would like to take my husband for Valentines Day. We were talking the other day how fun it would be to take a cooking class together. I have never heard of The Stock Pot. I think it would be great to give it a try. I am a Massage Therapist and I have worked on the owner of Bellacino’s but I never been there. I have been thinking about going there to eat. They both are wonderful people.

  The hubby and I won’t be together this Valentine’s Day but we will be celebrating our 6 years together very soon. We try to make every day special. He will be in Tulsa visiting his son which is special too! I think I will send them both by the Sweet Tooth to top off the visit. Thanks for the chance(s)!

  Valentines Day is meant to be a fun day in my mind. A day of love, not necessarily just for relationships but for family too. Im single this Valentines Day and so is my Mom so we are trying to figure out what we are going to do. The day should not go to waste. My mom is taking Friday off for work so we are making the entire weekend into a girls weekend. Friday we are seeing the movie Valentines Day, then im taking my mom to Big Al’s Health Food for lunch. Then Bellacino pizza and some movies for the rest of the day. Saturday is a chill day. But then Sunday its still up in the air. There isnt alot of money so gift cards would open up so many options. My mom works long weeks so i would really love to take her out to Shoguns and get her a good steak without having to worry about a budget. I really hope i win this so i can treat my mom for all the work she oes during the week.

THE MOVIE BLINDSIDE WILL MAKE FOR A PERFECT AFTERNOON ACTIVITY. WE WILL PROBABLY GO TO SHOGUNS NOW THAT YOU MENTION IT. SHE LOVES HIBACHI AND WE JUST MOVED TO TULSA AND ARENT AWARE OF OUR CHOICES ET. THATS WHY I LOVE THIS SITE. A SMALL SNACK AT OUR FAVORITE JOINT- SWEET TOOTH CANDY. ILL SURPRISE HER WITH ICE SKATING AT THE BOK CENTER AND A HORSE DRAWN CARRIAGE RIDE. WILL FINISH UP AT HOME WITH A SMALL ARRAY OF GIFTS TO SET THE MOOD- A BOTTLE OF ROSA REGALE, A LB OF TOPECAS ESPRESSO, A TIN OF TAZO LOOSE LEAF TEA, MASSAGE OIL, REED INFUSERS, AND THE BEST PART- A HOLLOWED OUT BOOK OF POETRY WITH AN ENGAGEMENT RING WAITING INSIDE FOR HER. I PLAN TO PROPOSE. I THINK A GIFT BASKET MIGHT HELP SET THE TONE FOR THE DAY OR IT COULD JUST BE A NICE CONGRATULATORY GIFT.

  The best way to start my Valentine’s Day is with a cup of Topeka coffee. I am partial to the Breakfast Blend, makes a perfect start to ones day. Then after a nice walk along the riverfront we will go see Valentine’s Day at the movies. Dinner will be garlic linguini with pan seared scallops just for the two of us. I was in charge of the entree, they are creating a special dessert, I have the champagne already chilling for that part of dinner.

  Well every since the Superbowl giveaway I’ve been wanting Bellacinos(so sad I didnt win that ), so probably go pick up a pizza and grinder from Ballacinos, go home and snuggle up with my puppie and watch some TV.

  Now, I think I should win because I need an excuse to get out and right more reviews of places. And since the only place I’ve been thats a sponser in your giveaway is Bellacinos, it would be a great first timer experience for me.

  As a newly stay at home mother to a 7 month old teething baby girl who refuses to take naps most days, this Valentine’s day will have me daydreaming of emerging from my sleep deprived state, taking a luxuriously long shower, getting dressed up, getting a babysitter and eating at Shogun. Ah, to have a meal in a restaurant or even to have the oppportunity to cook one at home with some instruction from the Stock Pot would be devine this Valentine’s. But then, the aroma from my Topeca coffee brewing in the kitchen brings me back to reality. We will likely stay in and order a Bellacino’s 8? Pizza and maybe my husband will buy me some Sweet Tooth candy!

  [Reply]

• Jason Feb 9, 2010 at 3:47 pm

  Will definitely be eating some candy from the Sweet Tooth this Valentine’s Day. Will likely start the day with Topeca coffee. Our first date was at Shogun, so that would be a fun memory to recreate.

  For Valentines we will be eating at McGills (mmm…lobster and linguini!) and staying overnight at the newly renovated Mayo Hotel! We may try to work in a brunch at the restaurant at Philbrook the next morning.
