By using the right props, your meal and your love life can sizzle.
Difficulty Level: Easy Time Required: 30 minutes
Here's How:
- Include all five senses as you make your plan.
- First choose your environment. Choose a beautiful outdoor location or a clean, uncluttered room in your home. Think "outside the box", it does not have to be your dining room.
- Select the necessary table settings for indoor or outdoor use. Will you need a picnic blanket, tablecloth, or antique lace runner?
- Continue planning the visuals. Will you need a centerpiece or is the environment visually stimulating enough?
- Plan the meal. As you consider your menu, think about the colors on the plate and textures, not just the taste of the food.
- Don't forget to please the nose. The scent of apple pie entices a man; lavender and other soothing herbs please a woman.
- By all means use candles, but make sure they're not scented. Scented candles can clash with the taste of your food.
- Select foods with aphrodisiac properties.
- Food that can be fed to your partner is a fun choice. Forget about the utensils.
- Remember the soundtrack for your meal. Pick romantic/sexy music. If you will be outside with crickets chirping or by a babbling brook, nature will be your music. If not, bring along your own music.
- If the meal will be indoors, make sure your seating is comfortable. Nothing kills the mood more
than feeling fidgety.
