Weeknight Cooking

A Menu for Last-Minute Romance

February 14, 2013

Maybe it happened in an elevator: a double-take, an introduction, an invitation. Maybe it happened at a coffee shop, when your fingers brushed as you grabbed for the cream. Maybe you completely forgot it was Valentine's Day, and your wife/husband/girlfriend/boyfriend is going to murder you if you don't do something, anything, to acknowedge the holiday.

Any of these situations, and you need a plan. Stat.

Here it is: your ticket to last-minute romance, a menu you can shop for and cook when you're off of work. Love is in the air. Embrace it.
