what are you going to cook?


I have already posted mine weeks ago. Lets see what others would cook on a first dining date on the home field.


what are you going to impress them with?


baking skills, grilling skills, oven roasting skills. what is your trump card?


don't forget to mention the wine if part of the meal. be specific. varietal, year, region, vineyard, etc.

I make a mean chicken with broccoli and garlic sauce. Very tasty. Any white or rose wine will do. I'm not picky.

Well, I'd acutally have the persona couple of hours before sunset on a lateSaturday afternoon for a nice brunch on my patio. I'd make a nice tomato/lobster bisque soup followed by a homemade Waldorf Salad and bbq'd tri-tip with new potatoes with a garlic and olive oil baste, asparagus with lemon juice and dill weed.Drinks would be mint or spearment sun tea in a pitcher of oranges and limes with a bit of lemon lime soda for a nice kickand ice cubes. We'd take a nice walk around the neighborhood afterwards, which is beautiful and come back for a desert of berry pie ala mode or chocolate mouse with fresh berries.


Then I wake up.

I order out from a really great gourmet shop...then tightlystuff the take-out bags into the garbage cans outside my house...throw on a Martha Stewart apron....and.... VOILA!....din din is served!


(I know...I have no shame! I am one of the last bad cooks in America that will actually admit it on a dating website....but men easily overlook my poor cooking talents...they think it's funny... considering how intelligent I am! ....AGHHHHHHHHHHHH)


Adios Mio......where is Martha Stewart whenI need her??????????????

Well zeb, cooking skills are overrated. Like legend, I have very basic cooking skills. One match (not EH) kept asking me if I could cook.


He said. "....yes you can do this, and that, are accomplished, won prizes, but CAN YOU COOK?" I have still not answered his question. That was 18 months ago.


We're still seeing each other. I think there are other skills that keep a couple together. Cooking is not one of them.

Pot roast, potatoes, carrots, gravy! Nice cold beer and apple pie for dessert. Not into gourmet just plain old home cooking is my style. After dinner cuddle up on couch to watch a good movie.

According to the book 'Why men love b***'s', this is how the lady should prepare the first meal for her man - Tell him you are cooking, then make some popcorn, maybe burn it a little. Pour some into a nice bowl for yourself and give him the bag so he can have whats left. LOL- I've yet to try this technique, but the point is, don't go out of your way the first time. Then later in the relationship he'll be even more impressed when you actually do cook something that took more effort.

when i was in college, i worked pt in a liquor store. one evening this man came in and asked me to recommend him an expensive bottle of wine to impress a new date he had.


i pointed out the expensive bottles that we carried and after a moment, i suggested that he should start off with a cheap bottle of wine instead, theory being that she should work her way up to and earn that expensive bottle of wine in the future. besides, if he ended up really liking her after the first date, then the next time he would end up spending even more money then this time on wine to impress her even more.


a huge light bulb went off in his head, he profusely thanked me for that great idea and then bought about a 4 bottles of the cheaper more common bottles of table wine.


moral of the story: i didn't know jack sheet about wine in the first place. =0)
