Yeah Veal parmigiana, shrimp scampi with a light alfredo sauce, lots of thyme, candles, some Barry white or Luther, and oh yeah a shaken caesar salad. And some ice wine if u have the money, if you don't, get Perrier.

Blue Cheese Stuffed Pork Chops

Preheat grill for medium-high heat. Trim fat and make a pocket in each chop. Season chops with salt and pepper. Combine remaining ingredients in a small bowl and stuff about 1/4 cup of mixture into each chop.
Press to close. If too bulky, use toothpicks to close pork chops and prevent stuffing from spilling out. Place chops on grill rack and cook for 30-35 minutes or until meat is no longer pink. Remove from grill and serve.
Spaghetti is good, and you could throw in a couple of candles and a bottle of wine while you're at it. A side dish of oysters aren't bad. But iIf you want something light for a romantic meal, try this delicious vinaigrette over a spinach salad with mushrooms. Garnish with extra strawberries. :)
