offer her tube steak jk, i like to make wok stuff.

i like cooking eastern food, its easy to add your own flair and make it exactly how you like it. otherwise, you can never go wrong with make your own fajitas, make for a fun date, creates conversation, and minimal prep.

 

[claydawg]

'sketti is definitely your best bet

 

[Medicine Bear]

Whip it out. Put some alfredo on it and say "here's your dinner bitch"

That should work.

Probably won't fill her up though.

oh and fettucini alfredo is just as easy as speghetti to make but seems much classier on your part...if thats what you are going for. pick a white wine to go with that, possibly a Viognier or Pinot Grigio

Make some chicken Alfredo with some fettucini...White sauces are so much better than red. If anyone takes the aforementioned statement out context, death shall be the result.

So basically I have the house to myself for the next couple of days, (22 year old college student, lives with parents) and my girlfriend doesn't think I can cook, actually she knows I can't cook.. But, she somehow talked her way into me making her dinner tonight. I can nuke a mean mac and cheese, but thats about it (one of the reasons for moving home, good cook in residence). Thus I need to come up with something, like an overall meal that will at least prove her wrong about my culinary abilities..

Its got to be somewhat cheap, (together 3+ years, cheap is fine at this point, already got into the cookie jar) and realitively goof proof... I have looked through this site for recipes and the multitude of recipes online.. but still have no ideas what to do..

Any ideas? Recipes? Thoughts? Wicked Insights?

Why do you wnat to prove to her you can cook? So that she can then force you to cook if you end up in a long term relationship? Think ahead man! Get a couple steaks and burn the absolute sh!t out of them, serve the most horrid vegtable cooked the worst possible way and for dessert make a cake but substitute salt for suger. After that she will never expect you to cook again in the relationship.

Cast iron pan + couple of nice ribeye cuts + salt + pepper + veggies + canola oil --> Hot oven + Stovetop = teh win

 

[oogabooga]

pasta is pretty easy... add some bread, a chicken recipie and BAM you're in buisness. Or go steak.. mmm steak.

 

[stan394]

nvm

 

[EGGO]

If you had more time and owned one of those slow cookers, you can make a lot of things very easily, and they'll end up being very tasty.

 

[HeroOfPellinor]

Damn, man, follow a recipe. It's not that hard.

Last night I made homemade potstickers and tonight it's homemade pizza. I'll also be baking cookies after dinner. And don't even try pizza unless you have a stone and peel.

 

[AznMaverick]

buy a cookbook. it is what i've done, and is a good investment.

 

[Sex Smurf]

serve some nice "steamed hams"

 

[thomsbrain]

Lucca brand frozen ravioli. boil water, put them in, wait until most of them are floating (5 min), strain water out, serve. BAM! taste pretty good, too.

french bread. cut, serve. BAM!

brocoli. rinse with water, cut up into chunks, put 1/2" water in a pot, bring to boil, put in brocoli (best if you have a strainer thingie that hold them up out of water), cook for maybe 5 minutes or so. poke one with a fork and see if it is soft enough to meet your taste. take off burner. serve. BAM!

champange. take out cork. don't kill yourself doing it. BAM! (pun intended... twice, if you think about what will happen later than night!).

BAM!
