Date: Cook Dinner Together
Result: Even though this was a "non-paying" date, it is important to note that we did have to spend about $15.00 to get the ingredients we didn't have. In hind sight, maybe we should have looked at what we had and went from there. Regardless, cooking together is something everyone can do.
Maria found a recipe Caribbean Seafood Stew on line at Recipe.com (http://www.recipe.com/caribbean-seafood-stew/). We made all aspects of the dinner a part of our date, including going to the grocery store together. We shared the work equally. I cut the fish, detailed the shrimp, and chopped the onions and green peppers. Maria chopped the jalapeno and cilantro, seasoned the fish, and was in charge of the cooking process. Not quite sure how I wound up doing the dishes :)
We found Caribbean music on Spotify and listened to it while we cooked. We actually made quite a good team. Overall, it took about 40 minutes from the time we started cooking until the time we sat down to eat. The meal was actually very good and as Maria always likes to point out, pretty healthy too. We both had a good time and counted the date as a success.
