I couldn't agree more.  What better way to step off the spiraling 
prove-you-love-her-by paying merry go round than by short-circuiting the rip 
off artists 
and doing your own thing and cooking a wonderful meal with all the trimmings 
in an intimate atmosphere?  What is remotely romantic about waiting an hour in 
line among a bunch of coughing, over-dressed people to pay beaucoups of money 
for a skimpy meal?    WE got it right, Graz!  Just ask our wives.  8^)
