When I prepare a special evening at home with my husband there are many things to consider. I will make a nice meal with all of his favorites. This may include looking up recipes, jotting down ingredients and shopping. Then it is important for me to figure out the timing so the meal is ready when I want to serve it.
I like to create a romantic mood for the evening with an aromatherapy candle or two. I turn the lights down low. In the center of the dinner table I'll place a bowl full of water, flowers and an aromatherapy candle. In the past I have made a path for my husband to follow as he walks in the door. I leave an aromatherapy candle burning in a bowl on the floor every few feet. In between I have sprinkled silk rose petals and hearts.
When he enters the kitchen he finds me dressed in a provocative serving outfit. I allow him to become comfortable with a glass of his favorite beverage then we sit down to a wonderful meal. The romantic aromatherapy candle mood flows into the remainder of the evening as we enjoy each other's company during this special evening at home.
