Cook on the first date. (I was impressed when my man made me mac n' cheese after I had had surgery.) ~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action.

peacefuljeffrey 0 #4 February 7, 2006 QuoteLove a guy who can cook! if you do it well, I say go for it. Yeah... I'm a guy who can cook, and my girlfriend is a really good cook, too. Now we cook together. In fact, the way I hit on her was, she was working in a health food grocery store and I was there to pick up ingredients for vegan chili. I asked her when she'd be working next, and I would bring her a sample of my very first ever batch of vegan chili (I usually make it with meat). She went for it, and loved the chili (it really was good, actually). I brought it to her work and we ate it at the cashier's counter. --Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind...

lawrocket 3 #7 February 7, 2006 Of course you should cook if you know how to do it. Costco sells some fine 4-cheese tortellini. Have it thawed and resting bu a floured cutting board when she arrives to give her the idea that you made it. Costco also sells herb-encrusted chicken breasts. Thaw those in a ziplock so it looks like you seasoned them from scratch. Breadsticks are available all over. Just pull them out of the oven right as she arrives. Add some Prego and voila! You have now cooked for your lady! Chicks dig it. My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
monkycndo 0 #8 February 7, 2006 It worked for me a few years back. I didn't know she was a good cook. I didn't expect to be cooking and just threw something together. She was impressed. It lasted a whole 4 months. Oh well, at least I got a good recipe for roast pork tender loin.50 donations so far. Give it a try.

Icon134 0 #9 February 7, 2006 I've cooked for several of my female friends... though I'm not sure I would qualify them as "dates"... perhaps practice dates... My favorite is something along the lines of Blackened (or Grilled) Salmon, with light pasta sprinkled with cheese (Parmesan, Romano, etc), and fresh Chopped Vegetables (what ever is available at the grocery or local farm market) either blanched or sauted with white wine such that they are still crispy... With this a good White wine or a light red wine (like a pino noir) Dessert is always a good thing too... I like to bake... ScottLivin' on the Edge... sleeping with my rigger's wife...

TrophyHusband 0 #12 February 7, 2006 you could go with alphredo over marinara, unless you have a kick-ass marinara. last time i cooked for a first date, i made cap'n crunch chicken. she thought it was the oddest things to mix children's cereal with dinner, but we're now married. who's the odd one now?
