2. Making dinner together
Susanne: Fondue, first cheese, then broth and then chocolate fondue. Best way to enjoy each other's company, eat food and have something to do the whole time without making it awkward.
Rachel: We love to have taco & margarita night where we make our delicious tacos & creative margs. Also playing the app “Card Decks” while enjoying a charcuterie board!
Kimberly: Cook together while listening to some great music.
Sandra: Order HelloFresh and cook together.
Mai: Spa, crackers & cheeses & wine. Oh and of course bubbles.
