Lunch

[alty29]

I am trying to impress someone I am meeting for lunch. Anyone have any suggestions as to what to buy/bring or what to make/bring? Keeping in mind that it will have to be reheated in a microwave if I bring it.

Picnic or taken to their house?

And how good of a cook are you to begin with?

[silverx2]

male or female. and in either cases do you want to sleep with them?

[alty29]

It is my old teacher, but I have known her my entire life. She is a home ec teacher, and it will probably be in her classroom. There are ovens in there, but I doubt I can use them. It is a woman, I would sleep with her if she offered

edit: forgot to say, I am a decent cook. Willing to practice whatever I make a few times.

[silverx2]

so you want to show off that what she taught you hasnt gone to waste?

[lefteyewilly]

make a flash movie about making lunch and leave it on her door step?

Not that, really, I just thought it would be nice to bring her lunch. I would actually prefer buying it

Grab a couple of salad's from Wendy's and be done with it. Don't make it a big thing if it's in the middle of her work day.

Seriously... keep it light and simple. Some fresh French baguettes, cook some chicken breast with some italian spices and slice it hella thin (grilled or pan-fried), then get some four lettuce (romaine, iceberg, endive, butterhead) salad mix, some garlic roasted almonds. make your own red wine vinaigrette in front of people (get a cruet, get a fresh lemon, measure out the red wine vinegar, some extra-virgin olive oil, black pepper, a bit of sugar and some fresh dill) and serve it up with a mango-orange juice drink.

light, fast, about 2 minutes of chicken re-heating and 1 minute of shaking up the salad dressing... about 25 minutes in the kitchen beforehand.

Just a thought.

^^ frickin' julia child's ova he'a. </poor italian accent>

[gerbick]

lol, I did something similar tonight.

had some chicken breasts, some fresh basil (I grow my own) and some cherry tomatoes...

thin sliced the chicken, heated up a pan with some olive oil, sprinkled the chicken with some crushed black pepper, tossed it into the pan, took some fresh basil, tore it into the pan, waited until I almost had to flip it over, tossed in some balsamic vinegar and sliced the tomatoes in half, turned over the chicken, covered the pan and served on top of rice.

prep time... 15 minutes, tops. just wish I had some decent bread... ate some wheat bread with it instead.

...slice it hella thin

Your use of this word ruined your culinary acumen for me.

Best advice for cooking...

Don't be afraid of seasoning. Salt and pepper is your friend. Pepper should be freshly cracked and salt should not have the word 'iodized' or 'table' anywhere near it. Sea salt or kosher salt only. Taste everything as you assemble it and you'll do no wrong.

I've seen what people call "very thin" around here. Not impressed.

Anyway, talking to the people in their vernacular should be more commonplace, OsamaRatty.

Dude, when I first read that, I thought you wrote "She was my home ec teacher".

Damn you and your older women. Have you bagged one yet or do they all die before you get the chance? Rascals don't go that fast.
