It's the little things: Date Night

I have a little tradition with my boy, we always make time to have 'Date Night' every week.  Often it's just small things like going to the movies, reliving our childhood playing arcade games, or something a tad more competitive like mini golf - which I won, not often I beat my boy at ANYTHING!
However this past week we've both been sick so we're having a night in, just the two of us, making dinner together.  He's handling the main and luckily he's not doing roast vege's as his last attempt at that didn't go well at a recent family dinner, with the veggies being on the rather crunchy side. 
Of course, I'm doing dessert, I've made some pastry cream (recipe to follow in a future post), so I'm thinking of doing a tart and I've also set the table up to make it more of a 'Date Night' evening, with flowers and candles, as really it is the little things that make a normal evening in something special.
