Thursday’s Daily Dose

Good Morning and stay warm. Laramie’s weather has taken up on a whirl wind ride from nice to snow to wind and more. Make sure you bundle up and don’t forget to enjoy your day, even if it is spent inside. Here is your Daily Dose brought to you by the Laramie Area Chamber of Commerce.

1. Spanish Tapas Class! Join The Copper Kettle cooking class today and start cooking Saturday.

” Tapas originated as a piece of toast with a tasty topping that could be placed on top of  a glass of wine as the person talked and laughed their way through the light snack prior dinner. Join us for this class as Chef Bryce Tugwell takes us to a scrumptious and blissful tour of this fascinating topic.  This class is slated for more than 2 hours and a strong possibility for 3 hours as there is so much to cover and so much to make (and eat.)  This is a partial hands on class.  Definitely feel free to bring your own bottle to this one! Saturday, February 25th, 2:00pm to 5:00pm.  $42.00 per attendant.”

- Cyndi Martin, Owner-The Copper Kettle

2. Baked Spaghetti Dinner! If you want a new twist on a classic meal try this recipe tonight. You can add or remove any ingredients that you want and still have a great dish for everyone to enjoy. Get the recipe, here.

Paula Dean's Baked Spaghetti

3. UWSO and UW Choirs: Brahms Requiem.  7:30 pm at the Fine Arts Concert Hall. I hope you grabbed your tickets early because this event is sold out. It is a must-attend event tonight so hopefully you purchased early.

Happy Valentine’s Day

Happy Valentine’s Day to all of Laramie and a special greeting to all of the Laramie Area Chamber of Commerce Members and Blog Followers. We wish you a wonderful day with all of your loved ones. Do you have any plans yet? Did you wake up to any surprises? How are you planning to make this day special for your ‘someone special’? If you aren’t sure how you are going to do that let us help you. Here is your Valentine Daily Dose brought to you by the Laramie Area Chamber of Commerce.

1. Valentine’s Day Scavenger Hunt. Set up a scavenger hunt to make today just as much as an adventure as an everyday relationship can be. Here is a list of things you will need. 

  • Suitable location for the scavenger hunt
  • Theme for the scavenger hunt
  • Items to match the hunt’s theme
  • List of items
  • Computer to draw up the list
  • Printer
  • Prize for the winner

Since it is a nice day, lay out their winter coat and hide the items around Washington Park, the University of Wyoming Campus, or around your neighborhood ending at your house. 

 Then, your theme should reflect the tone of the scavenger hunt. If it is for a loved one try “Things Cupid has Lost” or personalize it to things you have done with the individual.  If it is for a young child just make a list of things that that they can search for. For adults, give clues making the items harder find. Since you have a theme your items should also match the theme.

 Type up your list and hide the items after work. Send them out to find all the items, when they return be waiting with a bouquet of flowers or a nice dinner prepared. Not sure what to make them for dinner? Check out our next selection.

2. Spinach and Mushroom Ravioli. Here is a quick recipe that you can have done by the time they return from their scavenger hunt. During your lunch hour prepare all of the ingredients and store in the fridge. When you get off work you can hide the scavenger hunt items and head home. While they are searching, pull everything out of the fridge and begin cooking. 

Have a great Valentine’s Day and make sure it is a day to remember. Make sure to check in with us tomorrow for more of your Daily Dose.
