Recipes
It's a good thing to have a few really "killer" recipes at your disposal. Chicks dig it when a guy cooks for them. Put together a quality presentation with a great recipe and she'll be butter in your hands.
OK, we've got some recipes coming up but for those of us who aspire to excellence in the kitchen but want to make it a bit easier on themselves, I've got a really great little resource for you.
"Style & Entertaining" is a website you
can visit and choose from a nice selection of different dinner party kits.
You select the specifics of what you want your party kit for and they send you everything you'll need to put it all together.
Of course, you'll have to shop and purchase all of the different fresh ingredients you'll require for your specific dinner but everything else is there for you.
Any dry goods you need (a specific pasta, let's say) plus all of the different spices, suggestions on the wine to serve, complete cooking instructions, etc.
It's all put together for you! I'm going to give this a try in the not-too-distant future and I'll let you know how it all goes.

Chef Johnnio's Lemon Chicken & Pasta
Fellas, whip this dinner up for that special lady and she'll love you for it. Just set the mood before dinner with a nice chilled bottle of Vouvray with a small wheel of Brie, some crackers and fresh fruit sclices.
Ingredients - Chicken Dish
1 Pound boneless chicken breasts
1/2 cup generic Italian salad dressing, the spicer the better
1/2 cup dry, white "jug" wine - something inexpensive but flavorful is ideal
2 TBSP Ballpark (or Stadium) mustard
2 TBSP DiJohnnes mustard
Ingredients - Pasta Dish
1 package (12 oz) pines nuts - vegetable section of a decent grocery store
1 stick of butter
8-10 nests of angel hair pasta - usually comes in a package with 20 nests or so
1 package (12-16 oz) of fresh, grated Italian parmesan cheese - not Kraft shake cheese
Lemon Pepper - see the condiment and spices aisle at the grocery store
Pre-Cooking Instructions
Combine Italian dressing, white wine and both mustards and whisk briskly until smooth and uniform.
Marinade the chicken breasts for 4-12 hours (longer the better)
