Another big advantage of having a romantic meal at home is that you don't have to wait until you've sobered up to head back! :-) O'course, you know how many romantic dinners I've had in the last twenty years. Heh. Fine dining, with Rob, is ihop.

Me, if I go to a really fancy $50/person restaurant, it's because the food and the ambiance and probably the twilight view over the Bay are all better there than anything I can create at home. (I suppose if I had a house with a stunning view and beautiful candlelit bay windows and and and, I probably wouldn't care about the price of the restaurant and would go just so I didn't have to do dishes.)
