Dating and food

Say you are back in the dating scene and would like to cook dinner for someone on your date...
What would be an appropriate food to cook? What about sandwiches?

Oysters, tequila, chocolate dipped strawberries, whipped cream, honey.

And then after that bring the ho home and make her a grilled cheese.

I would be happy with someone making ME a sandwich, but if I were cooking for a guy, i'd probably go to the 'dinner party' menu, which means pulling out all the stops.... AKA "Soon menu".

Ok, if you are cooking for a date, make that means something to you but that they like. Pasta is always good because it is very versatile.

I recommend a simple and easy pasta dish with fresh linguini, pancetta, parsley, and garlic.

Soon is so gay.

chocolate covered strawberries are too romantic. Think of a dessert you would like as a kid, but that you both can make, like ice cream sundaes, or strawberry shortcake.

Go easy on the garlic....just in case!

I love the strawberry shortcake idea!

I would probably make tilapia.....breaded. Orzo. Green beans, salad. White wine, so probably a chardonnay. Too bad I don't have a date, ha!

as always.. cooking advice from a foodie (me!)

Seasonal and fresh is always the best place to start.

something that you are good at


Now, i can cook just fine.. but I am no chef. I leave that to the men in my life and the places i work at.
if I was cooking.. i would make one of my favs.. good old fashioned comfort food:

meatloaf, lagsna, salad, but my favorite thing to make is: Smoothies! I make the best!

i like to make sandwiches for my man too.. with salad and cut fruit, etc. i like to make a delicious healthy sandwich for my man... and then go out for dinner.

i also make a very good thanksgiving dinner. :-) (and who doesn't love the "gobbler" the next day??)

Lasagna or Steak. My two favorite foods. It really depends on your cooking skills. There is nothing wrong with getting take out from somewhere and putting it on regular plates. Just remeber to take out the trash before he/she gets there.
