Question

Answer 1

What's his favorite food? If I were in his shoes, that'd be what I'd find the most romantic - that you remembered what it was and were thoughtful enough to prepare it. Just a thought. I wish you both all the best.

Answer 2

Make him a dish of shrimp scampi..this recipe has never let me down...

Linguine with Shrimp Scampi
Vegetable oil
1 tablespoon kosher salt plus 1 1/2 teaspoons
3/4 pound linguine
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 1/2 tablespoons good olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons minced garlic (4 cloves)
1 pound large shrimp (about 16 shrimp), peeled and deveined
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
1/2 lemon, zest grated
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (2 lemons)
1/4 lemon, thinly sliced in half-rounds
1/8 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes

Drizzle some oil in a large pot of boiling salted water, add 1 tablespoon of salt and the linguine, and cook for 7 to 10 minutes, or according to the directions on the package.

Meanwhile, in another large (12-inch), heavy-bottomed pan, melt the butter and olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the garlic. Saute for 1 minute. Be careful, the garlic burns easily! Add the shrimp, 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt, and the pepper and saute until the shrimp have just turned pink, about 5 minutes, stirring often. Remove from the heat, add the parsley, lemon zest, lemon juice, lemon slices, and red pepper flakes. Toss to combine.

When the pasta is done, drain the cooked linguine and then put it back in the pot. Immediately add the shrimp and sauce, toss well, and serve.

I hope the two of you have a marvelous evening and wish you both the best!

Answer 3

Salmon Fillets.
Lightly salt fillet. Place a knob of butter on a medium high heat, ribbed frypan, and when it stops sizzling add fillet skin side down.
As it cooks you will see it changing colour and when it is about 1/3 cooked, carefully turn.
Cook until a further 1/3 is cooked and remove to a warmed plate and cover with foil.
Add some more butter and some fresh herbs:-
Fennel: for an aniseed taste.
Mint.
Parsley.
Let cook for a few minutes and remove from heat. The cast iron will keep it warm.

Serve with steamed baby potatoes, leeks and carrots.
The colours will look nice on his plate.

A salute to the boys.

Answer 4

What is his all time favorite meal ? Whether it's something you cook, something his mother cooks, or from a restaurant...I would have his favorite for him. If you don't think it matches with champagne, then save the champagne for dessert, maybe with cheese cake and chocolate covered strawberries.

Answer 5

A number of people hit it right on the head. My son is on his third tour in Iraq and each time he comes home, he wants his favorite meal so his wife prepares it for him. That is what he misses the most. The favorite meal brings back the fond memories of how it was before they went over - meaning that everything is back to normal again.

Answer 6

Caviar on toast points with champagne.

After about an hour, make steak, potatoes and a salad. Serve red wine.

Answer 7

Don't forget dessert:

I recommend chocolate dipped strawberries with your champagne

Answer 8
