Whatever you make, finish off with chocolate. That's one bit of
romantic folklore with a huge dollop of truth to it: women like
chocolate. If you can find good strawberries this time of year, buy
them. Clean, remove green stems and halve. Serve with any sort of
chocolate. If you can swing a chocolate mousse, truffle or chocolate
torte from your dorm kitchen, that would be great, but brownies will do.
I found the recipe on the Baker's chocolate box to be easy and doable
if you have a bowl, pan, microwave and oven. Brownies, fresh
strawberries, whipped cream. If you can't find good imported
strawberries (shop by look and smell; strawberries should smell like
strawberries), just brownies and whipped cream is good. Not up to the
cream? Get her a box of mixed chocolates. Even a good quality
chocolate bar. Trust me on this one.
