Try as we might, romance usually gets put on the back burner. It's not unusual for the fire and passion to burn less bright after being with your partner for years, especially with all the usual trials and tribulations that life throws at you.
Alex and I tend to have 'date night' once a month, failing that, once every two months. However, we, like so many others, had to tighten our belts as recession and redundancy loomed. So every now and again I try and recreate memorable meals that we've had, so even if we aren't hitting the town as often as before, we still have lovely dinners....most importantly lovely dinners together.
You would be surprised at how romantic your own living / dining room can be when the lights are turned down to low....when flickering tea lights are dotted around strategically, bouncing off reflective surfaces into pretty shapes....and the aroma of Diptyque's Figuier is floating around.
Turn off the TV. Turn off your Blackberries. Add a roaring fire, suitable music, a simple, elegant no fuss meal, (nothing less romantic or sexy than being hot, bothered and frantic), with a fine bottle of wine into the mix.......just talk, and listen, and laugh.......enjoy one another.....it really is the perfect date night.
In this blog I shall give you my versions of some of our favourite date night meals, easily replicated at home.
Please enjoy these with someone you love....xoxo
