Romantic meal ideas?????????
Ok so i can cook a good roast, and the average spag bol, lol, but my skills pretty much stop there. I have been moaning about OH recently for never being here, but in his defence he has always been hard at work. It wasnt till he said yesterday, im going to try and be home alot more now, but ive just been trying my hardest to get all the money we need so we dont have to worry while i take time off to be with you both after he is here (He hasnt been at his job long enough to get paternity pay so he has to take time off without pay)
So i have arranged a babysitter for tomorrow night and want to cook him a nice meal. I sent him a text asking what he would have if he could have any meal from any menu in the world.
His reply was:
There would have to be some kind of meat dish, probably chicken. Maybe a mixed grill main with a sea food starter. Maybe white bait or prawn orsomething. Maybe with something smooth to finish chocolate mousse or gateau with a jd and a cigar on the porch.
Any inspiration that doesnt involve prawn cocktail and steak new potatoes and asparagus as a mina as i cook this all the time. Id like to cook from scratch if i can.

My husband loves Greek Salad ( assorted leaves, olives, feta cheese drizzled with a good virgin olive oil)followed by Beef Stroganoff
1. Cut 12oz steak into strips and grind some black pepper on. Leave to settle in fridge
2. Thinly slice a large onion and cut up 4oz mushrooms (leave them whole if using button- size )
3.in a large frying- pan, melt 1oz butter. Fry your beef, for a few mins, then scoop it out onto a plate
4.In the same pan, put a little oil and first your onions, until soft and golden, then the mushrooms. Keep frying until cooked, then throw the beef strips back in. Stir in 1 tbsp of English mustard, a beef stock cube, a little drop of boiling water from the kettle, and salt/pepper to taste. Stir in 2 tbsp of single cream right at the end
5.Serve with boiled rice ( he likes Basmati but any good white long grain is fine) and green veg- we have broccoli or green beans
6. Red wine goes very well with this, and candlelight
7.Eton Mess - crushed meringues with whipped cream and fresh raspberries is a fab dessert
8.Then good coffee with a piece of Turkish Delight or some tiny petit- fours
9.Leave dishes til morning ! lol
