Romantic Dinner Ideas For Him
If finances are an issue, try the same things in different stylesMake the meatloaf into a heart shape? Anything on the grill is a good winner for most menMy favorite, if I can't pick the meat, is the potato baked on the grill and corn on the cob still in its shuckSoak the corn in salt water and keep moist while you cook it over medium smoke/heatThe corn should not be soggy like when boiled, but still crisp and flavorfulI do the potatoes the same way as in the oven, but over the grill: wash, dry, pierce, rub with butter Crisco, wrap in foil, then scratch the foil to let the smoke insideCorn and large potatoes usually take 1 hour to 1 hr 15 minutes depending on size and heatIf all else fails, think about a superbowl themeDips, finger food, snacks, low light, a 12 pack iced down, and watch a romantic (but not too chick flick) movie on the floor with blankets.
