My boyfriend and I are busy on Wednesday, so I cooked over the weekend. I made four courses and the dishes were pretty tasty:
First course: pumpkin carrot soup; I saw this on the TV show "Cookin' In Brooklyn" - it made me hungry. I am not a fan of pumpkin, but it was sort of sweet yet savory at the same time.
Second course: I made a salad (I bought a bag of French mixed lettuce) from a Michael Chiarello recipe that had a citrus vinegarette - it was too tart (two lemons and two oranges,) but adding sugar may cure that. The salad also called for cocoa nibs, so that was a nice and weird addition.
Third course: seared pork tenderloin with cocoa spice rub; I was feeling ambitious. It smelled wonderful, but I don't think I let it sear enough - after I put it in the over for the alotted time, it wasn't fully cooked. I let it cook through, but it was a bit dry. The seasoning tasted marvelous, though. I just have to try again and let the mixture linger on the meat - to bring the flavors together.
Fourth course: Limoncello cheesecake squares; I thought this was going to be the toughest one, but it was surprisingly easy. I used a recipe from "Everyday Italian" and the cake was quite lemony, but the crust was the best part.
My boyfriend was highly impressed and loved everything - I think I may have found my calling.

I'm making Shrimp Creole over rice, green salad, homemade bread. For dessert, homemade cheesecake drizzled with strawberry glaze and a couple of chocolate strawberries on the side. Of course, our favorite wine with this!

We are expecting the first major storm of the winter where I am in New England so if we have power I am making a beef roast. If we loose power I am making corn chowder or beef stew on the wood stove.

It really depends on her taste but I think Italian food always depicts romance. So start with Bruschetta or a nice pasta salad...then move on to ravioli or spaghetti and for dessert you can have tiramisu or strawberries covered in chocolate.

A small, chilled shrimp cocktail; two small filets mignons, some potatoes, some baked squash, and fudgy brownies and ice cream for dessert.
