On Friday night, I surprised my husband with a French-inspired dinner for the two of us. I made Ina Garten's braised short ribs and mashed potatoes, and the French Chocolate Pudding recipe from our cookbook for dessert. It was all delicious! I even put on a black dress and red lipstick, and played this French piece for my husband after we ate.
(Sorry for the poor photo--I was having trouble with the nighttime lighting!)
Have you ever made a themed dinner? I had never done anything like this before and it was really a blast. I got quite into it, as you can tell!
What a wonderful idea Kate! I love little creative date themes like this, so thanks for sharing it with us. :-) Looks like you and your hubby had a great, romantic evening (with no iphone-ing involved I am sure!)! Happy Monday to you friend...
ReplyDeletesuch a sweet idea!! once, when david and I were dating, I made an italian themed dinner at my house and my sisters were waitresses. ha! I should do it again though, it has been too long.
ReplyDeleteso romantic! I love the idea of making an ordinary night at home anything but :)
ReplyDeleteHow romantic and fun! These are the things I love about marriage...sweet gestures of surprise for each other. :) I once did a St. Patrick's Day meal for my husband and I, but it would be so fun to try a French theme. Thanks for sharing!
