So you are not very good at the whole touchy feely side of things; you love her, but mushy stuff is not your style. That is perfectly okay, she obviously likes you for who you are, but every once in a while it is nice to astound them with something a little different. You can actually accomplish this and not even have to turn in your man card.
No matter how your special lady says she feels; a little special attention from you is something she will cherish. The hardest part for most of us is that is just a whole lot simpler and less messy to leave evenings to those who do it for a living, and we have less opportunity to fail. Because of this, there is an entire industry dedicated to helping us woo the fairer sex with purchasing power, a win win for us and the commercial world. For this very reason, doing it yourself will mean so much more to her.
But since spending the day in the kitchen does not appeal to us, we begin with the trusty poulan chainsaw in the shed. Grab that man tool and head out to a place where you can fell a tree and cut into logs for firewood. It does not diminish the effort if you have to pay someone for the honor of cutting the firewood yourself, tonight is about doing things with your own hands for her. Once you have the logs in the right lengths for your fireplace, split them into pieces and load up the truck.
Now you can stack all that firewood in the truck and it will be good not just for tonight but for the future as well. Returning home you an stack the firewood and prepare the fireplace, comfortable in that you are preparing for the special dinner, but still doing the manly thing. Just make sure that you have everything you need to make that fire, it would not do to discover at the last minute that you have no kindling or matches; this should be an error free event.
This is the part of the evening preparation you have not been looking forward to, the actual making of a home cooked meal you will both enjoy. To do it right, you need the right ingredients for your specialty, and while you will be in the grocery store, do not cave in and buy a prepared dinner, you can do this on your own. The only electrical device you may not already own is an electric rice cooker. If you do not own one, it well worth the inexpensive investment, for tonight and the future. It makes preparing home made rice as easy as using the microwave.
So now you need to pick up the food for the meal, it is not as hard as you might think. Grab a bag of rice, but not the wild or long grain kind, a small bag of some king of Japanese rice will do. You will also need a bag of shredded cheese, a couple cans of cream of mushroom soup, a piece of broiled chicken or uncooked scallops or shrimp, whichever you prefer or more than one. You will want some microwaveable vegetables, some French bread and a bottle of her favorite wine.
Back home, it is time to take care of you. But first, read the instructions for preparing the rice and set it and turn it on to cook. With the machine, you can not fail. At this point you should be ready for a good shower, and all you have to add is the standard morning ritual, even though it is still the afternoon. Taking the time after you shower to get your hair in some semblance of shape and shaving (unless she digs your beard) can go a long way and requires little effort. This would be a good time to break out that bottle of cologne, or man perfume as we usually call it, which is why it remains on the shelf unused. It is not that she does not care for your smell, it is the idea of something different that we are leveraging here.
Now that you are ready, the rice should be as well. Time for the magic part of cooking, if you think of it as a chemistry lab, you will be fine. Get out a pan that is safe to use in the oven, which you now preheat to 325 degrees. In the pan, scoop out enough rice to cover the bottom of the pan to a depth of about an inch and a half. Now open the cream of mushroom and cover the rice, but remember you are not making soup, so do not overdue the sauce. Now place your selected topping, shredding the chicken if you bought a whole cooked breast, or distribute the scallops or shrimp evenly. Now sprinkle the shredded cheese over the mixture evenly and cover with aluminum foil. Place the vegetables in a microwaveable bowl and the pan in the preheated oven at last 35 minutes before dinner. You are ready to start the fire.
For the final step, set the table in front of the fire with your finest dishware, pour the wine and set a glass of water and you are ready for the evening. When the rice has cooked for about thirty minutes (the seafood should be fully cooked and the cheese bubbling and slightly browned (not burned so be careful to check every five minutes after the first 25) remove the pan and the aluminum foil and let it cool. Now you have a perfect romantic meal made by hand to impress her, and it was done in manly style including the use of your homelite chainsaw.
