If the cold weather is depressing you as much as it is me, stop by the Four Seasons Lounge (120 E. Delaware Pl.) this winter, for the kind of warm-up befitting Bill Gates or Warren Buffet. This is hot chocolate service a world away from the watered-down Swiss Miss stuff I drank as a kid, after ice skating in the Minnesota tundra. It’s presented with homemade chocolate marshmallows on a silver tray, served and churned tableside out of a traditional French hot chocolate pot, allowing guests to enjoy the cocoa at its richest and thickest. The cocoa is poured over a large cup topped with a chocolate lattice, melting the chocolate treat into the cup. Cream is served on the side. Haute Chocolate, available through the winter season in Seasons Lounge, is $15
On Thursday, the 21st, at 7 p.m., Frasca Pizzeria and Wine Bar is hosting a pasta cooking class, to help you hone your flour-and-water-forming skills. Cost of the class is $25 per person (includes instruction, pasta samples and two glasses of wine). Each student will get to select the type of pasta they would like to make (gnocchi or fettuccine), as well as a sauce (red sauce, cream sauce or a blend of both). Pupils will then get to sample their work, accompanied by two glasses of wine per person. To reserve a spot, call 773-248-5222. The restaurant is located at 3358 N. Paulina St.
