Home Cooking and Movie Marathon Night
A cosy night in, cooking your favourite meal together, followed by a movie marathon of your favourite films or discovering new ones. Perfect for couples looking for a chill, intimate and relaxing night indoors.
- Instead of going out, the two of you have decided to stay in for your date. You plan your favourite meals and shop for ingredients together. The warmth from the kitchen as you cook together elevates your mood, and the tantalizing aroma of the food heightens your appetite.
- Next, you set up a cozy movie-watching area in your living room. Throw in some fluffy pillows and blankets and arrange your snacks nearby. You choose to either revisit your favourite films or go on a new journey with a series neither of you have seen before.
- As the movies play one after the other, you lose track of time. The laughter, tears, suspense from the movies, combined with 'in between' casual chit-chats and snack breaks, add a special flavour to your date.
Preparation steps:
- Firstly, choose your favourite recipes together. It can either be something you both are confident about cooking or something new you both want to try. Make sure to create a list of all the ingredients required. You can even select a combination of dishes - like appetizers, main course, and desserts.
- Next, check your movie catalog or online streaming services. Plan a list of all the movies you want to watch, ensure there's a mix of genres. It could be a marathon of a favourite series, an array of award-winning movies, or a movie from each of your favourite genres.
- Lastly, set up a cozy movie-watching area in your living room equipped with a big screen, cushions, blankets, and a table or stand to keep your food and snacks.
Some tips:
- Always ensure to start the cooking process early so that you have ample time for your movie marathon. Make sure both of you share the tasks during the cooking to make it a fun and bonding activity. Don't shy off from trying out new recipes; make the process fun and not a task.
- Create the perfect cosy movie-watching environment, adjust the lighting and sound for optimum viewing and listening experience. Make sure all the things you may require like blankets, snacks, water are within reach so that you don't have to pause the fun often.
- Keep in mind to select the movies based on shared interests, and also respect each other's movie choice. Be considerate of your partner's comfort and preferences while selecting the movies.
