Add the sweet potato, and cook about 15 minutes more. Remove a piece of each potato, and cut it in half to see if it is cooked enough. Once the potatoes are tender, add corn kernels; cook another 30 seconds. Drain through a colander. Fill the saucepan with cold water, and drop vegetables into water. Cool for 5 minutes, and drain. 2. In a large bowl, whisk together mustard, lime juice, cilantro, and garlic. Slowly whisk in oil. Mix in salt and black pepper.

Let a sister know if these recipes work for you! THIS IS FOR MY MARRIED AND INVOLVED COOKS! HERE'S A ROMANTIC SUGGESTION TO SPICE UP THINGS AT HOME. PLAY CHEF AT HOME When was the last time you had a romantic dinner with your spouse? You don't have to have a special occasion to host a romantic dinner for your spouse. Set aside the excuse you can't cook. If you are culinary-challenged, you can still plan a romantic dinner at home for the two of you by either choosing simple recipes to follow or by purchasing some of the meal courses from a restaurant or store. Time Required: As long as you want it to 1. Set the stage of your romantic dinner by making sure the two of you will be alone. If you have children, arrange for babysitting at someone else's home. 2. Plan your romantic dinner on an evening of a week that you are sure your spouse won't have other time commitments already scheduled. 3. Do you want the romantic dinner to be a surprise or not? If it is a surprise, light candles in the entrance of your home to surprise your spouse. If the dinner won't be a surprise, consider giving your spouse an invitation that you write yourself. Send the invitation by mail, leave it on your mate's pillow, send it with a bouquet of flowers, leave it on the dash of your spouse's car, etc. Your invitation needs to be specific as to when the romantic dinner is planned. Be creative! 4. Set the table with a tablecloth, cloth napkins, nice dinnerware, crystal, unscented candles, and flowers. The napkins can be rolled or folded in a pretty way. Sprinkle the table with rose petals or sparkly heart shaped sprinkles. You can set floating candles in small glasses filled partly with cranberry juice. 5. Decide on your romantic dinner menu. Keep it simple, but don't forget the appetizers. Plan on serving foods that your spouse likes. This isn't a time to experiment with a new recipe. 6. If you are going to order your part of your romantic dinner from a restaurant or other source, make sure you have time to transfer the menu items to attractive bowls and platters. 7. Choose the music you want to listen to ahead of time, and have soft romantic music playing in the background. 8. Create dimmed lighting for the room where you will be dining. Small, white Christmas light strings can have the desired look. So can a fire in a fireplace. 9. Turn off the television, computers, and other distractions. ROMANTIC DINNER 4-2

Variation: Add some stir-fried tofu or tempeh. Or some five-spice tofu if you have it. 

What To Cook on a First Date?

There is nothing better than cooking on a first date. If you are any good in cooking, it will be an advantage for you in many ways. He or she comes to know more about your personal life and talent while the same is not possible if you go to a movie or other crowded place. The atmosphere of home will certainly make a couple feel comfortable without any interruptions. But what should one prepare on the first date? Before answering the question, I want you to be honest and imagine what would excite you the most when someone invites you on a date at his or her home. Is it a very special dinner full of lots of tasty Indian dishes? Or is it the desserts or wine that one takes with dinner? Sounds strange? Yes it is. People DO NOT go to dates thinking of tasty food. They rather expect their partner to give a good romantic time to them. Moreover, young people generally, don't have an expertise in cooking. What I mean to say is that you should focus more on just two things when you prepare something for a date. First, follow some basic rules like not cooking regular and very spicy food. It will be good if you can manage to know what your partner likes. You can not expect a vegetarian guy to be happy even when you serve him the nicest fish or chicken cooked by you. If you are not at all good at cooking, pick any good recipe book and look for something easier to cook and that tastes good. Second, try to spend some time with your date when you are cooking in the kitchen. Be talkative and humorous while cooking. It will create a nice atmosphere for your date. Do not forget to create a romantic atmosphere when you both eat the food you cooked. Some soft music and candle light will solve the purpose. How to Cook For a Date Learn how to combine all the ingredients and present a great summer salad in this free recipe video on how to cook for a date and other fun recipes.

glitter-graphics.com ASK A QUESTION AND THEN CLICK ON THE EIGHT BALL FOR YOUR ANSWER. :) Combining Ingredients & Present a Summer Salad to a Date -- powered by ExpertVillage.com How to Cook for a Date Ready to let your domestic diva or Renaissance man take center stage? Tie on that apron and start cooking. A quiet home-cooked dinner for two, with a little style and sizzle thrown in for good measure, can turn up the heat just when you need it. 1. Ask your date tactfully if he or she has any food preferences. Stay away from fish unless you're grilling it outside--you don't want your house and clothes reeking of trout. 2. Pop a cork--champagne, Prose co and other bubbly drinks aren't just for big events. Start off the evening with a little toast to the night ahead. 3. Think aphrodisiacs (if not now, then when?). Set up a sumptuous finger feast with caviar, oysters, lobster, figs, mango and artichoke leaves dipped in butter. If your date is an outdoor lover, pack your feast in a basket and head to the beach or a quiet, scenic park. See 321 Plan an Outdoor Party. 4. Start with soups or savory tarts--they're more unusual and impressive than your typical green salad. 5. Try a cheese course before dessert, paired with thin slices of baguette, toasted nuts with a drizzle of honey and olives for a sophisticated touch. 6. Finish it off with a chocolate fondue or flourless chocolate cake. Chocolate, unlike whatever follows the meal, is a "sure thing." • Get a meat thermometer that reads in doneness rather than temperature, for example, "well-done steak" will be easier to comprehend than 170 degrees F (77 C). • If you're pressed for time, or you're a wreck in the kitchen, buy prepared food from a high-end market and plate it up at home. Or get takeout to serve as appetizers, such as sushi or spring rolls. Find a little French bakery where you can pick up a delicious dessert. • If you're planning on cooking anything that you've never prepared before, consider giving it a practice run... You wouldn't want your soufflé to fall on the big night! • Don't forget the candles! Mood lighting is always a nice touch   Take this quiz at MyHotComments.com Cooking for a Date! What would you do for a date? Michelle Cunningham, 41 an comedian, writer, and storyteller, is following the age old cliché- 'the way to a mans heart is through his stomach' literally. Standing on busy street corners, holding a cardboard sign that's seen better days and covered with autographs, with a big smile and gregarious attitude, She brings grins, waves and double-takes from all who see her…   But does it work? I had to ask. It seems a bit risky to me. Michelle tells me that the way she usually plans it is as follows. A man will see her, stop, and ask her if she's serious. If there is any mutual attraction, and they agree to a dinner date, she prefers to chat on the telephone for a week, and if that goes well, she will then meet her hungry suitor at a supermarket, where they pick out all the groceries needed for his favorite meal. He forks out the cash, then they go off to her place where she'll whip up anything from genuine soul food to her award winning lasagna.   Then what? I ask… She tells me that she likes to serve red zinfandel with her meals, and perhaps rent a video for later, and… if all goes well… a love connection is made! "What about dessert?" I ask. She replies, "I hope dessert is me!" So far, in the year she's been cooking for a date, Michelle, has met many interesting men, including a pro football player for the Arizona Cardinals, and all have turned into good friends, but she's still searching for Mr. tall, dark & handsome.   This all started when Michelle's mother in Arizona encouraged her to head out West to find fame & fortune, and perhaps a good man for her three children. Michelle, a Mormon, wasn't meeting very many men of her race in her local church. So she packed up and headed out to Hollywood. Some folks on the street have teased her, some have mistaken her for a prostitute on Hollywood & Vine, one man from Beverly Hills gave her fifty dollars and told her that she made his day!     Michelle is currently working on a cookbook, comedy appearances, poetry, and cook for a date socials in the Los Angeles area. "Men in L.A. are starving for homecooked meals, and the women who can do it". Michelle suggests you keep a man full in the kitchen, or in the bedroom.
