What shall I cook for "Date Night"?

Thai green curry is a good one to pull off. Tuna steaks are great. Poached salmon, easy peasy and tasty. Pies always win blokes over, myself included. Sounds old fashioned but it's still yummy, bread and butter pudding with custard for pudding, feels like the right time of year to eat that.

What a sweet and thoughtful idea!


Tuna and Asian dressing sounds yummy! Are you going to serve it with rice? Noodles? For the salsa, maybe go easy on the raw onions...in case the conversation gets a bit more intimate later?! ;)


For future meals, why not recreate a previously enjoyable meal? Something that you had while on honeymoon? Or when you went on holiday? I recently made a Korean bibimbap...probably not authentic, but it got us talking about when we almost froze to death in Seoul one Christmas.

Ok I have purchased my menu:


Chicken and ginger broth with floating prawn dim sum parcels (bought) for starter

Asian tuna and salsa

Coconut rice pudding with ginger ice cream, lime sorbet and mango


I'm happy.


We do date night every Saturday as we have a young child and babysitting is expensive. We take it in turns to cook and choose the evenings entertainment and music. No iPads, phones or tv allowed. We sit at the kitchen table. It's nice.

It's really helped us tune back in to each other. For that day at least :)


Love all your ideas. Thanks so much. It's me again in two weeks so keep them coming.

Good menu and what a lovely idea! Might give it go ourselves!


For future (and for me to remember if we decide to do it):

starters - moules mariniere with crusty bread or caponata served with burrata?

mains - fish pie or coq au vin?

desert - creme brulee, flourless chocolate cake, sticky toffee pudding?


Mmmm I'm getting hungry now!

    • I noticed this announcement en passant while doing various searches on the libraries website.  When I eventually went back to  make a proper note, I couldn't find it.  Eventually discovered it in the middle of the catalogue basic search page, and thought it well to post it here too. Easter opening hours All libraries will be closed on the following days: Friday 29 March 2024   Sunday 31 March 2024  Monday 1 April 2024 
    • I am at The Gardens. I saw GP on a Wednesday and he recommended physio, he checked availability and offered Tessa Jowell Centre for Saturday at 1 pm or Forest Hill Road Practice on a Monday at 11 am. I chose FH- very efficient/ Physio at FH very helpful, sent me some neck exercises and referred me for spinal assessment at Kings.
    • Of course, people's experiences may vary, but I'm afraid I can't recommend the DMC on Crystal Palace Rd.
    • Option 1.  Let them go bust.  Government takes over, until an appropriate solution found.  This happens with failing train operating companies  Option 2.  Anyone who made money on the privatisation, or their immediate descendants, bail them out  Obviously the latter isn't going to happen but makes me feel better/superior. What do you reckon?  Big picture.  Small picture as I posted elsewhere is that they were good when we had a leaking main.  And of course mass redundancies need to be avoided.
