This article is the 9th of a 12-part series: A Twelfth Night Love Story,
a voyeuristic journey of love & romance
Be sure to ENTER to win one of three fabulous prizes-
With only four nights left until Twelfth Night, Remy and I decided to switch things up. For tonight’s gift exchange, we’ll be eschewing the material gift exchange in favor of a seductive date night at home. We’ve collaborated to put together some good background music, a sumptuous home-cooked meal, and a romantic movie. We’re dressed to the nines – me in my new Free People dress, Remy in his sharpest suit (with some very special cufflinks!) – and we’ve got our sparkling seasonal cocktails mixed up and ready to go.
First, we’ll light a few candles, dim the lights and set the atmosphere with one of our favorite albums, March of the Zapotec by Beirut. It’s moody, romantic and perfect for waltzing around the kitchen while we prepare a delicious raw food dinner.
We found a recipe for Supercharged Raw Zucchini Pad Thai at SuperChargedFoods.com and instantly agreed that we had to try it. Several of the ingredients – almonds, coconut milk, garlic, and ginger, to name a few – are known to be aphrodisiacs when used raw, so we should be feeling pleasantly frisky by the time we’re ready to snuggle up for a movie!
I chose the music, so Remy picked the movie, and he couldn’t have picked a more delightful one. L’Amie de Mon Ami, a French film by director Eric Rohmer, is romantic, clever, and fun: the perfect choice for dinner and a movie at home.
2013 has only just begun, but I feel so certain that the love and light that have filled these last nine days will set a pattern for the rest of the year… and beyond. Wishing you all as much joy.
