Fun date idea!

We've done this date twice and it was so fun both times, I decided to share it. And this doesn't even have to be a date. Girls, this would be a great thing to do with roomies! Here's what you do:
Go to your nearest grocery store to the specialty cheese section. Pick out at least 3 different cheeses. At least one needs to be one you've never tried. Be bold!! Try that cheese that you can't pronounce! Cheddar is a big no-no for this. To date, Josh and I have had Chevre (pronounced shev), Gouda (awesome!), Muenster, Feta (I am seriously addicted to Feta), and Fontina.
Next, buy a bagette. Another suggestion from this last time is to take Tums before hand and also get something else to eat with it. Olives are great if you like those. We had Asparagus this time. Here's a really good recipe for Roasted Asparagus:

Asparagus
olive oil
salt
Mrs Dash Garlic and Herb or Tomato Basil
Set the oven to 425. Snap off the ends of the asparagus and arrange on a pan. Drizzle olive oil over the top and sprinkle the salt and Mrs Dash on. Bake for 8-10 minutes. Goes great with Feta or Parmesan!

So once you've got all this ready, spread a blanket out in front of your TV and enjoy with a movie. Good movie ideas for the mood include Letters to Juliet, When in Rome, Leap Year, A Walk In The Clouds or Sabrina. Here's what our spread looked like (minus the vegies, they were cooking).

Happy eating!
