Dessert First
Reverse the evening with a tiny indulgence before deciding what dinner—or anything else—should be.
The Spark
- 1
Plate the dessert as beautifully as possible and eat it slowly before discussing dinner.
- 2
Flip a coin: one side means improvise a simple meal together, the other means order a favorite or take a walk.
- 3
Whichever wins, let the person who did not flip choose the music and the person who flipped choose the seating.
Why you might like it
Breaking the usual order makes a low-effort evening feel mischievous and celebratory.
Make it softer
Use fruit, tea, or another small treat instead of dessert.
Turn up the Heat
Save the final bite to feed one another and follow it with a lingering kiss.
Check dietary restrictions and avoid feeding anyone who prefers to handle their own food.
