Most Friday nights, Shan and I try to have some sort of 'date night'. Sometimes, he goes to the gym. Sometimes, I go out with friends. And sometimes, we're just too tired to organise anything. Very nearly all of the time, our date nights are at-home.
Tonight, it centered around watching a DVD on the lounge. Until I posed the question of dinner. And Shan replied, "how about we have the kind of food you would get in Gold Class?"
Give me a reason to create a menu, and I'm all over it. Especially when it doesn't have to cater to the tastebuds of people under five years of age.
So, for our Gold-Class-At-Home-Experience, I prepared...
*Ranch flavoured popcorn {easier than it sounds, just a combination of salt, pepper, dried onion, garlic, and dill}
*Shoestring fries with ketchup
*Marinated chicken wings
*Garlicky white bean dip with tortilla chips, snow peas, and carrots to dip
*Chocolate dipped strawberries {dipped in dark chocolate, with white choclate flicked over the top to make them look a little bit fancier}
*And of course, good sparkling wine.
