Are you a man in a partnership? If yes, you probably know her thoughts and wishes about breakfast in bed. The easiest way is to tell her “If you want breakfast in bed, then you’ll have to sleep in the kitchen.” At first sight, this is a convenient way out, but it is most probably contra productive for your relationship.
The second possibility is to loot the refrigerator and put everything in just the way it comes from the fridge on a tray. Put some plates, cutlery and mugs beside the food and head toward the bedroom. This gives you some browny points for the effort, but a sight like this is probably not what she had in mind, when she thought about a romantic breakfast in bed.
But of course, you can do better than that and it will probably have its benefits further down the road. A romantic breakfast in bed is not only about the food, it’s also about the presentation. If you already go through the hassle of preparing scrambled eggs, bacon, hash browns and baked beans, it would be just as easy to think about a nice presentation instead of just throw the food on the plate. Just be creative. I put for example the beans in some old jam jars (clean ones of course!) and covered it with eggs. The hash browns found their way into some glasses, which were left over from some crème caramel we bought in France. Put some more eggs and bacon on top and sprinkle it with some chives. The result of all this effort was my wife, radiant with joy.
Since Valentines Day is more or less just ahead, I’ll start thinking about the next breakfast in bed, I’ll surprise her with.
