somebody shut me the fark up.
Some of y'all may remember my son asked me to cook for his first date a couple of years ago (Homecoming, detailed in this thread: http://www.bbq-brethren.com/forum/showthread.php?t=172503).
He has a date for Prom this weekend and told the girl who asked him that he would rather not go out to dinner if I didn't cook for them. :shocked: The young lady (not a steady girlfriend or anything, just a friend) thought about it and decided she liked the idea. Joe asked a buddy of his if he wanted to bring his date for dinner too. So, I'll be cooking for four high school juniors Saturday night. (Yeah, we've kinda started a trend and some of the kids really like doing this. I'm sure the fact that it doesn't cost anyone anything helps, but the SoDT and I really enjoy doing it. It's pretty cool.)
I walked around the grocery store at lunch to get an idea of what to make, and I came up with the following. Let me know your thoughts.
First Course:
Romaine Lettuce Salad with egg, croutons, tomato, and red onion tossed with a creamy Caesar dressing.
Second Course:
Cream of Roasted Broccoli and Cauliflower soup.
Main Course:
Choice of Grilled Sesame Ginger Marinated Chicken Breast or Bacon Wrapped Filet Mignon. Baked Potato with Toppings and Grilled Bacon Wrapped Asparagus Spears.
[FONT="]Desert:
Fresh Berry Compote over Pound Cake topped with Whipped Cream.[/FONT]
