Dancing in the kitchen...

[RebelDyke]

it is absolutely so much fun to set the mood to couples cooking

Here is one:
You have her fave alcoholic beverage and your face alcoholic beverage

candles lit and low lighting perhaps under the cabinets... enough so no one cuts fingers off.

Put on some older music.. that you can still chat over... I like Ella Fitzgerald. Or the Andrew sisters, and even some of Duke Ellington is cool.

Make a simple ingredient dish... perhaps where there is a lot of cutting of veggies.. and some meat if you like..

(first) determine who will do the actual cooking.. then the other can take to table setting.

It is always a winner, and you get to know each other more....and most importantly.. you are seeing if you work well together on a project!
