Your opinions please (ladies especialy!)
 

So I'm cooking dinner this evening for a very special guest and I am curious; what do you think of the following:

Oysters rockefeller followed by;
Beef Chateaubriand & a Maitre'D Hotel Sauce mixed with a white sauce (veloute)
complimented by;
Potatoes Souffle

Desert's another story for another time, but I expect it to include whipped cream and caramel ;)

The answer to your real question is 'yes, we are all very impressed. You are obviously so sophisticated and we would all love a boyfriend like you.'

I think your dinner guest is lucky.

It sounds delicious. :)

Your dinner guest will find you to be a pretentious bore.

Go raibh maith agat; that's what I was hoping to hear!!

for some reason I doubt that

I was being a smartass. They will of course pretend to enjoy your arrogance because they will see that you have money.

Sounds delicious. Medium rare, I hope, for the meat.

Add some creme brulee before the after dinner festivities, involving the caramel and cream...and you've got a winner!

brilliant call! As a matter of fact that has been added to the menu! thank you!

bon apetit!!

While I must thank you; I honestly was not fishing for complements! Not to say I won't take 'em where I can get em! ;)

great menu

Ha, i was thinking the exact same thing :helpme

Haha....why am I not surprised? :thumbsup

Mmm that sounds delicious, except for the oysters. Hey aren't oysters supposed to get you in the mood? Hehe. Good tactic. :thumbsup

Well, true :)

Sounds wonderful! I'm sure she'll be impressed! :thumbsup

Very impressive? She will love it!

49 is the answer

hahah :thumbsup

lol I can't pronounce half that stuff and have no idea what most of it is.

oysters rockefeller is a preffered taste, I have cooked the dish many times but I would never eat it, the rockefeller sauce could be good on something else but the oysters i just dont do....do you know that your guest likes oysters? if so, nice aphrodesiac....

I personally would have gone with chicken picatta or my own personal chicken parmesan....its a lil different and better than most traditional chicken parmesan plates.....

I just made an awesome strawberry sauce out of the juice of 2 1/2 pounds of strawberries.....made somewhat of a carmelized sauce....perfect for dipping fresh strawberries into, coating with sugar......Ive seen girls' panties hit the floor simultaneously as the sweet juice of the strawberry slides down their throat....You should have that for dessert too ;)

Sounds very heavy.

Sounds nice..

I agree, way overdone.

Sounds like a nice meal and you'll get serious bonus points for cooking it yourself. BUT, you're setting yourself up for future problems.

Assuming this is a first date type of thing, the problem begins the NEXT time you have her over for dinner. Her expectations will be very high, so if you pull out the Hamburger Helper, the impression you made with the first meal will be a distant memory.

Most women's expectations are already high, why increase the bar? That's why you should keep first dates simple and NEVER cook yourself (Again, assuming this is a first date).

Sounds delicious. I'd be very impressed.

Stop trying so hard

I hope she is not on a diet

Which does raise the question...how special is this guest?

And, what wine have you chosen?

Also, will there be champagne and strawberries? For the caramel and whipped cream act?

And, perhaps a nice walk to shake off the heaviness of the meal....before the extra curricular activities, so the special guest doesn't fall asleep in the whipped cream part of the evening's activities.

Might want to switch to salmon with a light crab sauce, served with asparagus and salad....

Thanks for proving my point Raven.

Here this guy is cooking you a great meal, and the first question is will there be MORE (Champagne).

AND you want a break between the meal and the extra curricular activies?

Sorry. If I cooked my wife a meal like that WITHOUT the champagne, she better be getting her ass lubed up before dessert hits the table even. Then take a break to do the dishes and come back for more of whatever I want. :winkwink:

just make sure that the food matches you. You in a baseball hat, and living in a camper, will fail to make the proper impression, other than you sold the truck, and ordered out.

lol @ ubob

that sounds good

Hell, sweets, I'm just trying to get this guy laid....nothing more, nothing less.

As I thought about the heaviness of the meal, it seems easier to grill a salmon filet than it is to cook chateaubriand. See? I'm not being demanding...I'm strategising for him.....

If he serves meat, she'll be feeling the effects and that certainly won't get him his after dinner plan with caramel and whipped cream and we all know what THAT means...

As to the champagne, it kind of goes with the meal he's got planned..and, if you served your wife champagne, she can pour it on your cock and lick it off as you eat strawberries. :winkwink:

It sounds like you're trying really hard to make her a nice meal, but have you asked what she likes? Alot of people aren't big on oysters and alot of women don't eat meat. If you don't know her tastes really well, you may want to go with some safer foods.

Other than that, it sounds like a great meal. I'm sure she will be impressed.

You definitely raise some valid points.

Serve champage.:pimp

Thanks for all the feedback; to answer a couple of the questions:

She loves oysters rockefeller
Im definately steeling the champaign and strawberry's idea
She's cooking next time and its a little bit of a competition which is why I'm going a little over the top :)
And I've got a nice cabernet for with dinner

Deej: hook up your recipe for the strawbery sauce!
