" &amp;#039;Tis the season for winged babies, floating hearts, greeting cards and chocolates of all shapes and sizes. Couples all over will be sitting down to romantic dinners of fondue and Champagne while staring adoringly at each other as a lone violin croons in the background. Meanwhile the uncoupled will...well, what will they do? Couples shouldn&amp;#039;t be the only ones to get a good dinner on Valentine&amp;#039;s Day. Unattached folks can revel in their singleness with a menu meant only for those that see cupid as only a child with an unlicensed weapon and think that chocolate should come in normal, square-shaped boxes. An Un-Valentine&amp;#039;s Day Menu Decor and Attire: Who are you trying to impress? Concentrate on comfort. Forget the candles and roses, instead get everyone together on the couch or with pillows on the floor. Dress should be ultra-casual: pajamas, snuggies and sweatpants welcome.  Cocktails: Start the night off not with sparkling wine or pink-hued cocktails, but with stiff, classic cocktails; preferably ones that feature bitters. Not because you&amp;#039;re bitter (unless you are) but because the tang of bitters in a Manhattan or an Old Fashioned (all drinks best made to order rather than two at a time) are a delicious celebration of the bitterness that relationships can sometimes bring, which you are avoiding. First Course: Start the meal with an eat-your-heart-out salad of chopped hearts of palm and artichoke hearts (heartichokes for the pun lovers out there). For the adventurous eaters, grilled, skewered chicken hearts or thinly sliced grilled veal or lamb heart can be served along side or atop the salad. More from Delish: 7 Sizzling (and Single!) Star Chefs Main Course: Since you need not worry about your breath at the end of the night, center your dinner around a roasted chicken with forty cloves of garlic served with large, buttery chunks of garlic bread.  Dessert: Leave the flourless chocolate cakes and the chocolate-covered strawberries to the lovers. Enjoy the fact that seduction is not part of this meal by ending with a very stinky cheese. Try an Espoisses, which explodes out of its thin, bloomy rind with a delicious foot odor or a funky blue like a room temperature Stilton. Pair with, what else, a single malt scotch. Or you can always go with the old standby: a carton of ice cream and a spoon for one.
