It takes two to make a thing taste right: A cocktail for two, fondue for two -- plus moink balls

A cocktail for two: The Varnish is offering its La Vie en Rose cocktail for two for Valentine's Day: Hendrick's gin, ginger syrup, lime juice, rose water. It comes with two straws.

118 E. 6th St., Los Angeles, (213) 622-9999.

Fondue for two: Cube's breaking out the fondue forks. Fondue for two is available Saturday only (the restaurant is closed Sunday) for $35 a person. Call for reservations.

615 N. La Brea Ave., Los Angeles, (323) 939-1148. 

Don't forget the moink balls: BigMista will be at the Atwater Farmers Market on Valentine's Day. His bacon-wrapped meatballs, called moink balls, come in pairs. Because, as they say, it takes two to make it outta sight. Hit it.

Atwater Farmers Market, Sundays 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., 3250 Glendale Blvd., Wells Fargo parking lot, Atwater Village.
