Panini PicnicKick up your feet, sit back and relax while your man plans date night. An indoor picnic and a tasty sandwich will be just the remedy for a long week.
Sometimes ladies long for a fancy date night complete with a cute dress, a swanky restaurant and a bottle of wine. Then there are other times when staying in and reading a magazine while your date prepares a meal sounds just as appealing. Taking the time to plan a romantic night in and do the cooking is not only appreciated, but it will save you some cash too. An indoor picnic is a fun way to switch things up and make the date feel like something special. Spread a blanket on your living room floor, add in a few bottles of beer, a small jar filled with hand-picked flowers and some finger foods and you are set. It's not fancy or expensive, but your leading lady will appreciate your sweet gesture and you'll appreciate not having to leave a tip.
If cooking a meal gives you anxiety, keep it simple by sticking to standard picnic fare. This Panini doesn't involve unheard of ingredients, fancy kitchen tools, or impossible techniques, but the end result will make you feel like a true chef and your lady will feel sufficiently pampered!
