Answer 1

Don't forget to be wearing something really sexy.

Answer 2

I'm not sure how your house or apartment is arranged. This would be my dinner theme. "Dinner under the stars."


If you don't mind spending some extra cash, get some bug zappers. Set the table on the porch complete with a nice table runner, candles, wine, bread, salad, along with your finest China and silverware. Turn on some nice music and enjoy! :) Hopefully you don't have inclement weather. At any rate, good luck and enjoy! :)

Answer 3

If it was me, I'd want a seafood dinner, or maybe a crab salad.
Then a very nice cake. Forget the wine and have sparking cider or sparkling juice.



Sour Cream Chocolate Cake with Coconut Frosting
Source: FC - Issue 37

Serves sixteen

Baking the layers at 300 degrees F keeps the cake exceptionally moist. Serve it at room temperature; the coconut softens when refrigerated.

RECIPE INGREDIENTS


For the Cake:

3/4 cup cocoa powder (I use Hershey's)

1 1/2 cups boiling water

6 oz. (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter, cut into six pieces

3/4 cup sour cream

3 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

12 oz. (3 cups) cake flour

3 cups sugar

2 1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1 1/2 teaspoon salt


For the Frosting:

6 large egg yolks

1 cup sugar

1/2 cup coconut milk

1 to 2 teaspoons coconut extract (or to taste)

1 lb. unsalted butter, cut into tablespoons, softened (but not at all melted)

4 cups large shaved coconut (fresh or desiccated), toasted





RECIPE METHOD


TO MAKE THE CAKE:
Heat the oven to 300 degrees F. Line the bottoms of two 9-inch cake pans with kitchen parchment and set them aside (there's no need to grease the pans). Put the cocoa powder in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Pour the boiling water over the cocoa and whisk until smooth. Add the butter and sour cream and blend on low speed until the butter melts. Allow the mixture to cool for a minute if still very hot, and then add the eggs and vanilla and whisk until smooth. Cool for 10 minutes.


Meanwhile, sift together the cake flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt. With the mixer on low speed, add the dry ingredients a little at a time to the butter mixture, scraping down the sides once or twice. Increase the speed to medium and blend for another 3 minutes. Pour the batter into the prepared pans and bake until the center of the cake feels firm and the cake just barely begins to pull away from the sides of the pan, 50 minutes to 1 hour (begin checking after 45 minutes). Remove the cakes from the oven and let cool completely before frosting.


TO MAKE THE FROSTING:
Put the yolks in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and coconut milk. Stir to combine and then bring to a boil. As the mixture heats, begin whipping the eggs on high speed. Boil the coconut milk and sugar until the mixture reaches the soft-ball stage (238 degrees F on a candy thermometer). Remove the mixture from the heat. Stop the mixer and pour a small amount of the syrup into the egg yolks. Quickly beat on high again. Repeat twice more until all the syrup is incorporated. (You can also add the sugar syrup in a steady stream with the mixer on, but be careful not to let it hit the beater or the syrup will be flung to the sides of the bowl where it will harden.) Continue beating until the mixture is cool. Add the coconut extract. With the mixer on medium speed, begin beating in the butter 1 or 2 tablespoons at a time. When the butter is completely incorporated, scrape down the sides of the bowl and beat another 1 minutes.


TO ASSEMBLE:
Use the frosting right away to fill and frost the cooled cake or cover tightly and refrigerate until ready to use. (Bring chilled buttercream to room temperature before using, beating briefly to smooth it, if necessary.) Pat on a generous coating of the shaved toasted coconut over the sides and top and, if you like, between the layers.

Better yet, make a chocolate cake and put the frosting of this recipe,on it. Yum!

Answer 4

Maybe a nice centerpiece on the table with the candles.

How about pork chops with rice and BBQ sauce. Then get those Pillsberry cresent rolls that are in the tube and make some of those. I always did that for my girlfriend and she really enjoyed it.

Answer 5

Be dressed in sexy lingerie and heels when he comes in. Have the table set and the food ready. He will want his dessert before he even eats his dinner! I suggest having some strawberries dipped in chocolate that you can feed to eachother, make some homemade whipped cream...I promise you that it doesn't really matter what you make for dinner because he is only gonna remember how sexy you were!

Answer 6

for below going out a month i think of protecting it small and easy is best. in case you bypass all out, that would look somewhat creepy. right this is my theory. for below going out a month, you of course choose it to final some greater. hit upon an particularly spectacular bakery. purchase 2 single serving slices. consistent with possibility even 2 gourmand cup tarts. (see in case you will have a flavor pattern first, you do not wanna harm this with some thing that flavor like yesterdays oil) ask your self her at artwork or someplace unpredicted and tell her to procure her some thing. Then whilst she asks whats the party, merely "casually" point out the month you 2 have merely executed. so which you do not look too psycho yet you look thoughtful. Then take off when you have finished your cake. perhaps leave a single flower on her motor vehicle. i think of a few thing like that would desire to absolutely soften me and make me brag to my pals approximately how spectacular you're.

Answer 7

lobster, spagetie, or fish/steak is really romantic! in the lobster make sure you hav big plates and some parsley on the side. if spagetie sprinkle cheese with parsley on top and mabey meat balls too. if fish againg put parsley and saus and same with steak! this is the top recepies for romantic dinners, and yes put on some soft music! and you should also add a salad and mabey bread sticks.

Answer 8

Poached salmon fillets, lemon,

Answer 9

The romantic food will be how you cook it, prepare it, order it, whatever you prefer, you should think about what does he like, his favorite food,all along its for him ,right?

Answer 10

Answer 11
