My fiance Antonio and I love to cook and feed each other. It's one of our favorite things to do. Recently, I made a Mexican feast, replete with guacamole and tacos, for Antonio. He cooked a splendid traditional Italian meal -- pasta with eggplant, fresh mozzarella, and calamari -- for me and my friends. For many people, the weekends mean having more free time. If this is the case for you and your love, then you should consider making the most of your time by creating a romantic dinner for two. Whenever I do this, I try to set the scene for romance by using only my most beautiful things. Of course, there are always soft flowers and candlelight. Paying attention to the details shows you care and also sets the right mood. You can try your hand at setting the table beautifully -- even if you'll be ordering in. Buon appetito!
