Story V – Friday Night

Dan and Lisa are out on a Friday night. They work together, they have for the last 8 months. They’ve just finished an important project today and they’ve decided to have a quick celebration.

Dan just ordered the second bottle of wine.

DINING-2

Dan – “So tell me Lisa, apart from loving seafood and being a great accountant” – He said with a big smile and looking at her – “what do you like doing in your free time?”

Lisa smiled back at him and touched her glass of wine.

Lisa – “I like mud wrestling and weight lifting” – She said trying to look serious.

Dan laughed sincerely and loudly. She laughed too.

Dan – “You’re very funny!” – He tried to sound surprised – “But seriously. For example, I am into marathons at the moment and I’ve just signed up for the Paris one” – He said quite proud.

Lisa looked at him for a moment. She moved forward and smiled at him.

Lisa – “I’ll tell you my secrets after the third bottle of wine” – She looked up to see his reaction.

He smiled back and relaxed on his chair. It was going to be a long night, he thought, and he was totally ready for it.

And suddenly this morning hailed

Raining

That there are only 2 more working days till Estern- I know it
That there are only 2 nights left till HE is back- I know it
That the weather in Dublin changes every 5 minutes- I know it…..But who would have thought today that it would be sunny in Dublin and a minute later hailing too? It would have been wonderfull if I hadnt been out on the street without umbrella (hail can hurt….)

And HE will be back for Easter and I want to do something special, so I thought, why not a romantic dinner? Because I believe that you cook for people you love, someone you want to love, or for that person you don’t know yet if you will love. But I am not a good cook, actually I am quite bad, and what is worse…. I don’t like it! but I love eating…. complicated. And HE knows all this, so the other day went to a bookshop looking for an English Style Cookbook (for Spanish recipes I can always call my mum) and, I have to confess that I panicked in the shop!! So many options and no idea which one was good (plus they are quite expensive)  and I couldn’t choose what to buy:

  • Recipes for beginners ???? Something like Sandwich + Coke??
  • 1000 easy recipes … Easy??? Really? Maybe once you find the 100 ingredients that you will need..
  • 1000 recipes when it’s just you (how cruel!!)
  • Grandmother’s recipes… I can’t associate that with “romantic and sexy dinner”
  • And then the other section, the ones “signed” by Tv or Movie stars …. dont know…

So I left without any book. I did some research in cookbooks and… I decided to use internet instead. Let’s see how It goes. I guess I am just worry that everything could be a disaster!! You can plan it all:

  • After work directly home
  • Put the ingredients in the oven like in the recipe… easy.
  • Run to the shower to have the whole session: scrub, special gel, mask for your face and your hair, body milk, make up, your hair…you look great! Everything will be perfect 🙂
  • Open the oven to check on the fish… it looks a bit dried so you add some wine…. and suddenly the oven seems on fire, all the smoke in the apartment and you look like a mess….

Just in case I have bought a lot of wine 😉
