I am cooking some grandious meal for a friend of mine and I want to impress. What food items should I include in the menu?

I was thinking of doing a shish kabob with pork and chicken that was marinated and peppers and Vidalia onions with a dipping sauce for a bit of it.

But what kind of sauce?

Then maybe a salad to start with. Any ideas on a dressing or will just EVOO work drizzled on?

Hmm, maybe a a sliced ribeye steak with baked red potatoes drizzled with EVOO and seasoned.

Damn it! Anyone have any ideas?

I want many things in the menu, like an appetizer or salad, main course, something else, and maybe a dessert. Too bad desserts take too long to make (like a day and a half) :(

Anyone?
 
omg that sounds so good.... i want in

What about a nice Caesar salad to start, a pork tentderloin roast with some borsen potatoes and fresh green beans, then you could end it with some fresh sorbet. Since the pork roast will have such a strong taste, you can even get away with a red wine if you like, perhaps something like s zinfandel or cab.

The sorbet is super easy to make as well, i've got this braun ice cream thing, you put the bowl in the freezer for like 2 days, then pour your stuff in there, turn it on and forget about it. It's done in like 30 minutes and it's delicious. You can also do it with a food processor in about 3 minutes. You make up the mixture, leaving out some (about 2/3) of the liquid (because you will already have frozen that 2/3 of the liquid) and freeze the fruit. Then put all the liquids and frozen stuff in the food processor, pulse it a few times and you've got sorbet.

i'll cook for just about anyone, so come on over. Since i'll be going to all this trouble, I expect "something" in return.

yes you can, but i have certain expectations about how the night will end.

married? no way! actually, me and the gf just got done with a huge fight about marriage and kids and stuff. I'm nowhere near ready for that, she agrees, but... well, anyway we got in a huge fight about it.

If you bring the gamecube and wear a cuet little maid costume, then yes it will be good enough. :drool:

not as yet, we're working up to the makeup sex. it'll be better if we let the tension build a little more. it'll be like a "sex explosion."

Leave the stick at home, but be sure to bring some rope. Asphysixation sex = :drool:

I'm not really into video games, I prefer to play on the PC over the intarwebnet. I like to shoot people.
 
Im makin' myself a sammich :drool:
my cullinary skills are sooo advanced.
