Make yourself or your sweetie a quick saute. Lobel's, a terrific family butcher shop and online purveyor has a very good, straightforward tutorial on how to Saute.
Saute - literally to Jump in the pan - is a classic technique that is well worth mastering. Most home cooks may know it already but understanding the basic steps can help any of us improve our techniques.
If you are not inclined or inspired to saute something - how about this VD idea?

Cheers!
