Poll about food
If you were going to cook a romantic dinner what would be on the menu?

Re: Poll about food
Something heavy like pasta or another comfort food. And wine. Lots of wine.
I couldn't see having mexican, burgers, or salads as a romantic meal.
Wine would be the main course if I had a say in it. Haha

everyone I make this for loves it.
seafood .... most likely scallops in a cream white wine sauce
but for valentines day (yes ladies I'm planning ahead) it's all about my kids so I'm making all food in heart shaped pieces (heart shaped garlic bread, chicken or maybe ham steak since it's easier to cut in a heart, with heart shaped noddles ... need some help on veggie ideas) with heart shaped fruit on a kabob
Ohh dumplings. Love. Pretty easy to make too.
This sounds so fun! Fruit kabobs rock. I am definitely going to do fruit and maybe angel food cake with chocolate dipping sauce.
Hmm...I was thinking something not too heavy and not cause heartburn if you want "desserts" afterwards. I would avoid a lot of garlic and onions as well to avoid bad breath.
Maybe something along the lines of scampi with a fancy green salad or usually steaks along with king crabs fares very well with the men.
Cook? No, no, no.
Get sushi takeout. Have a picnic on the floor. Feed each other. Drink copious amounts of sake. Giggle a lot. MCC's right. You don't want to be too full.
You're welcome.
So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
WELLLLLL...I saw this amazing steak the other night that looked yum. It was a ribeye and they topped it with blue cheese dressing AND blue cheese crumbles, and then french fried onions. Looked heavenly.
Then I would do either roasted red potatoes or garlic mashed, and a vegetable roasted in olive oil such as asapargus or sauteed green beens with garlic and butter.
A nice, simple green salad on the side.
Then, of course, a red wine to go with the steak (I suck at wine pairing but I'm sure you could Google it or something).
Then for dessert, chocolate bomb cake or something along those lines!
Steak, mashed potatoes and mushrooms
And wine
