   I made dinner for my smokin' hot chick on Thursday night ...

   The Table is Set

   

   In the below photo, look to the extreme left. There's her little romantic hand-written note from me telling her how awesome she is.

   For appetizers we have; Caponata, Hummus with Sun-Dried Tomatoes, Almonds, Baked Goat Cheese with Pita, and two types of crackers. Also, out of frame, there was Brie Cheese and Maytag Bleu Cheese.

   Accompanied by Red Diamond Cabernet Sauvignon.

   

   Below: Main Course

   Sauteed Lemon Garlic Chicken over Wild & Brown Rice with Brocoli
   Wine Accompaniment: Cline Viognier North Coast 2010
   (Greg Pease recommended the Viognier in general)

   

   

   For Desert - Frangelico and Godiva Chocolate. Simple, but affective.

   Looks delicious - even at 8:00 AM

   Hummus with sun-dried tomatoes sounds like a great start to just about any meal. Did you make the hummus?

   Very nice indeed !

   PS: try to find Neuhaus instead of Godiva next time as a Belgian, I can tell you... Waaaayyyyyy better. Oh, and the misses agrees and she's the chocolate freak in the house here

   "The fact is, squire, the moment a man takes to a pipe, he becomes a philosopher. It's the poor man's friend; it calms the mind, soothes the temper, and makes a man patient under difficulties. It has made more good men, good husbands, kind masters, indulgent fathers, than any other blessed thing on this universal earth."

   Chris, I didn't make the hummus, even though it is super easy to make.

   Mick, I will always take the advice of a Belgian, especially when it comes to chocolate.

   Vey nice Kevin. You have some skills man!

   If you are wrong and you shut up, you are wise. If you are right, and you shut up, you are married.

   You're gonna be a good wife someday! Or is that just part of the trap?

   Since you have to die anyway, you might as well die from something you like.

   Damn, check you out Kevin! You suave son of a gun! Looks like you're off to a really good start. After my lady and I first started dating, I tried my hand at making some pan seared chicken and portabella risotto. I don't normally attempt such a task, but I guess it turned out OK because neither one of us died.

   It does look great Kevin...
   But....
   Every-time I hear the word Hummus I think of
   That great quote by Charlton Heston in Soilent Green...
   "Hummus is people!"
   Just kidding.
   I can't get past the word...
   I promise to try it... someday... Maybe... Uh... We'll see.

    Thanks guys.

    Ha ha ha Radio807!

    I actually like to cook and do it 4 - 5 nights a week, so it's not really a big deal for me.

    However, I only rarely do that type of variety and presentation. That was obviously meant to impress, and it did.

    It was the first dinner I made for her, so that is what I'm supposed to do. Since she is such a spectacular woman, it was effortless putting this together. I was motivated, energetic and enthusiastic.

    You do know the Maytag Blue goes well with a aged, say Vinegar of Reggio Emilia . I like the silver label paired with pears and sweet white grapes with just a touch of white pepper . Your wine choices were impecable as always . The balsamic ensures the server of the ulitmate ending to the evening . Regards Igloo

    Well, I can make a pretty mean peanut butter sandwich, but so far I haven't impressed any girls.
