simple yet tasty dinner for a lovely lady

Does she have red hair?



I just made some gnocchi with parm cheese cream sauce, bacon, peas, onions, shallots...turned out really good.

Maybe a blue cheese/creole tomato/arugala salad to start.

To home made gnocchi...I would have to ask the gf...we usually purchase from world market (its pretty good gnocchi).

I forgot mushrooms...whatever exotic mushrooms or regular one you can find. I sautee the onions, shallots, mushrooms, etc....then add in cream and while its reducing slowly fold in small pieces or shreds of the parm cheese. When it turns slightly yellow or off-white (no the white white of the cream)...I add the gnocchi and the cooked bacon and fold it into the cream sauce.

gnocchi from world market or whole foods?

I've never made gnocchi before but I like it.

Either...its like $4 and very easy to boil first then set aside while cooking your cream sauce (boil it like pasta).

You can add anything...I had leftover portabellas, blue cheese and spinach the other day so we made blue cheese cream sauce with those ingredients....it can be a side dish/pasta or a main course.

Order pizza an' tell her to not wear underwear.

I wouldn't try something out on her for the first time if it's your first date. Well, not food anyway. Seriously, gnocchi, especially those that are primarily flour based, can be like eating glue sticks if not done properly. I prefer ricotta gnocchi by a wide margin, but again, if you haven't made it before, this probably isnt' the time to try it. I'd stick to something simple, that you know you can do well, like grilling a steak. Just buy a really nice steak, nicer than you'd buy for just yourself, and knock it out. Then, get on that arse.

I'm not familiar with a lovely lady dinner but I would imagine that you first butcher the lady as humanely as possible. Then remove excess hair and bone.
You could make a spit out in the yard and baste while rotating over a pecan wood fire.









Sorry, I couldn't pass up the straight line.

Duckhorn goes for about $50 at dorignacs....are you finding it for cheaper? If so, where? Its the only merlot that I have truly enjoyed.

Didn't you do the shrimp and grits for the last "lovely lady dinner" you asked about here? The word is going to start spreading....
