Aaah! Jarred sauce on a first date? You deserve to get canned!
The meal I mentioned was a chicken in a lemon/sherry sauce over an egg white
base with hollandaise sauce. Green beans. Good bread (from a bakery, but I
can't do it all!) with a homemade parmesan spread made from this really good
spread I found called Olive-It (haven't seen it in years, though), cheese,
and 11 secret herbs and spices.
Okay, so I did overcook the hollandaise just a bit, but it was the first
time I made it, I had no double-boiler, and before some wisealec asks, I
didn't have two pans that would nest, either.
We were already in a relationship at that point, but it was the start of a
wonderful night of dinner, dancing, dessert, etc.
