“When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that's amore.”
Jack Brooks (songwriter) 'That's Amore'
February. Valentine’s Day. The first thing everyone to mind may be hearts, roses and chocolate. I dare say that it does not matter what you plan for Valentine’s Day, or even any other romantic date, it always involves food. It’s probably because it is two of life’s universal pleasures and most people appreciate to have both or, more likely, crave.
Many women have grown up with the age-old English proverb, “A way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.” That may be true, but I’m convinced many women would agree with me that there is nothing sexier than a man that cook’s for you. Barefoot in the kitchen - bare-chested too if he’s daring enough, but that’s just my personal opinion.
There are obviously those would recoil horrified if you mention going out for Valentine’s meal or going the whole hock with flowers, chocolates and candle-lit dinner. Others love the idea because that is part of the entire Valentine’s experience. It’s not to say that if you do plan your Valentine’s date to perfection, it should feel staged. It’s crucial that you should consider your partner’s tastes and preferences. What one may think is romantic, does not work for the other one.
To tell you the truth, some people would happily take the one evening of magic and romance if that’s all they are going to get, or they are going to be the one that has to clean up the kitchen mess afterwards if their partner does decide to cook for them. After all, not everyone in the kitchen should get free reign in the kitchen. Some, like me, should leave it to the experts.
Happy Valentine’s Day
