I think we're getting too far into the form region and not enough
into the content, guys. . .

China and crystal are romantic, but not necessary and can become
intimidating.  It's WHAT you cook, and in what spirit you do it,
that makes all the difference.  

Some of the most romantic meals I've had have been a cheese omelette 
(great for those student budgets), spaghetti (with the sauce made from
scratch and fussed over unto death), and a beef jerky stew, cooked under
a picnic table as heavy rains washed away half the downstream camping 
grounds.  I seem to recall advising someone on this net to cook his
best chili for someone, and now they're living together. . .

But I have an especial weakness for anyone who makes anything
with chocolate. . .

Oh, I don't think that's true.  I do.  :-)
