If you were going to cook dinner for someone you really wanted to impress what would you make?

Beef tenderloin with sherry mushroom sauce, mashed baby red potatoes and steamed asparagus for me.

If it was a gorgeous day like it is here today it'd have to be BBQ. Grilled garlic & herb Buffalo rib-eye steaks with grilled sweet Vidalia onions, baked sweet potatoes smothered in butter, cole slaw, corn on the cob, steamed baby asparagus, and a cherry cheesecake for dessert.

EPErica	Posted May 20th, 2009 at 6:21PM Braised beef short ribs, Chantrelle mushroom risotto, and a spinach salad with feta, apples, pecans, dried cranberries and balsamic vinaigrette. If it was for a date, I may make sauteed Brussels sprouts topped with parmesian to make sure that he was willing to eat whatever I cooked!

IndyJoe	Posted May 20th, 2009 at 6:45PM I would get an idea of things they really like and then decide from there. My wife enjoys my cooking and even when I experiment, Ive gotten no complaints from her. I have also introduced her to "new" foods that she has never even tried before, and have gotten her to like things she never cared much for. There has only been two times that she didnt like it.

FallenGrace	Posted May 20th, 2009 at 6:21PM steak, medium rare, noodle soup as appetizers of course, with a white rice dish on the side....steamed dumplings also....and a nice bottle of coke for fun....the wine would go better with the steak, but coke is the answer for almost anything...
