Feel like I always cook the same stuff: pan seared/baked chicken, tacos, pastas, roasted veggies and just like the thread about usual weeknight meals.

But I want something that impresses, takes skill, and is not easy to make. I want it to be complicated I guess? Cookin for the gf as usual later for a date night and want something out of the ordinary.

A beef wellington or Chicken Kiev.

Both have a process to them and both are impressive if done right.

I'd like to try cooking sober once. Just to see what happens.

One of my favorite dishes is Veal Speidini. Veal is delicate and can't be overcooked, otherwise it will get tough.

Paired with angel hair fettuccinni.. alfredo, red sauce, pesto.. delicious.

Sauces... specifically sauces that enhance a dish.

Example:

Risotto. I've never even eaten it, though. Probably should try that, first.

I'm going to braise some short ribs this weekend, which I've never done before. It shouldn't be too challenging, though, right?

Egg Drop Soup.....I dare you. I'm a pretty good cook if I may say so but I've tried over 10 times and it's my nemesis.

If you get it right I will rename it "More Beer Please Soup" and order it that way in restaurants.
