Planning a romantic dinner isn't just about the food
(although it does help if you can at least boil an egg)
but about how you bring the whole thing together.
Start early to get everything just right. Make a menu
of what you will be preparing.
A starter - could be soup, prawn salad, bread,
etc.. (If you are not very good in the kitchen you can
pick up soups and other great appetizers in your local
supermarket.)
The main course - again the main course doesn't
have to be fancy as long as it is something that you
will both enjoy. Curry perhaps, or pasta.
For dessert - if your baking skills aren't up to
scratch the desserts on the market are endless you will
have no problem picking one up.
Prepare for cooking
Now you have prepared your menu go out and buy the ingredients
(don`t forget the wine.) Start cooking early so that
it is ready in plenty of time then all you have to do
is heat it up. This is a great way to enjoy your meal
without having to jump up half way through your appetizer
to make sure the main course isn't burning.
Have a tidy around
Make sure that all toys, books, clutter are stowed away
and that the house is generally tidy (you don't want
the down stairs to be presentable then have him go to
the toilet upstairs to find your dirty laundry all over
the floor.)
Make yourself presentable
Have a long bubble bath and take the time to pamper
yourself. Paint your nails, do your hair, put on some
make up, and wear your sexiest dress and heels.
Set the mood
It is no good preparing a romantic meal if the setting
isn't right. Cover the table with a fancy table cloth,
put out your best dishes and cutlery, napkins, and place
a center piece in the middle of the table, light some
candles and play some soft music in the background.
Chill the wine and get out the crystal glasses.
Now all you have to do is serve him dinner.
Although it isn't as easy as you might have imagined
it to be, it is definitely worth all the effort and
he will really appreciate it. Not to mention he will
definitely be feeling frisky tonight.
