Valentine's Dinner

A few posts ago, I wrote about the Mercy Date, in which because he paid for the first date, I then took him out for his birthday and he called it the mercy date because he thought once we were even on paying, I would dump him.

That did not happen...the dumping part. So, he invited me over to his place for Valentine's Day dinner...he would do all the cooking. It was to be my favorite meal, steak and fries. We had wine to start things off. Now, neither of us drink wine but we thought since it was Valentine's Day, we should have wine. The only problem was, he did not have a corkscrew so he took a knife and dug out as much of the cork as he could and putting most if it inside the bottle. I still have the bottle sitting on top of my computer armoire with the little chunks of cork in it. (He filtered the wine through a strainer before putting into the glass).

He had one of those electric indoor grills to grill the steak and it was not working properly. Instead of taking 20 -30 minutes, it took about an hour and half to cook. The fries were already done and eaten as we waited for the steak to get done. We switched to soda after the first glass of wine, dumping the rest. Finally the steak was done and it was good.

He has not cooked for me since....but it was a nice meal....must have been the company.
