Set the Table for Romance

Feel a need to reconnect with your loved one? Don't make reservations; make a dinner date at home. Rekindle a little romance with a special meal for two. You can be spontaneious even with busy schedules. You can make it special, together.

• Plan a minimal-fuss menu and one-stop shopping: wine, flowers, dessert, dinner ingredients all from the grocery super center.

• Share kitchen tasks- tossing salad, boiling water for pasta, table setting and candle lighting.
• Pour a glass of wine to share while preparing dinner.
• Play your favorite music to set the mood.
• Make the evening special with candles and "company's coming" dishes.
• After dinner enjoy a simple dessert or sip a liqueur.
• Set a date for "next time" to keep romance alive and well.
