Katniss. I had to have Brisket last night because of this thread lol

TGIF....(to grill is fantastic....)
 

Candy-- Of course there will be vegetarian options! My BFF is one of "your kind" so I know my way around tofu and portabellas, though will not claim expert status on this. If you eat dairy I make a fab 4 cheese (ricotta, mozzarella, goat and parmesan) stuffed grilled pepper dish. Yum-o. Veggies on the grill are the best and while I typically wrap my asparagus in prosciutto we can have a separate grill for non-flesh items. I have a grill basket and several skewers I can bring along.

lilapache--I'm kinda' digging the wide open space and lake setting of Knoxville.

tomboystud---How exciting! I wish I could help on the "how do I look older, I appear so young" dilemma but sadly at 47 it is no longer a question I have to ask myself! :seeingstars: If you are doing a casual lunch (outdoor cafe?) and as you have known one another 10 years (If I read that right?) then maybe a nice pair of shorts (not cargo or jean) and a nice button down shirt or polo? It seems from the stores and fashion mags. bright colors/seersucker shirts are coming back in style. But, I'm femme so a sundress and sandals work for me, I'll let others weigh in on the fashion questions. The main thing is to be yourself, relax and have fun! (and if lunch goes well a walk in a park and ice cream cones later wouldn't be amiss....)


Hope everyone has a fantastic Friday and Crush-tastic weekend!!! :moonstars:


Katniss~~(is it wrong to want to grill at 9:00 in the morning????)

Adding some clarification......we have not known each other for 10 years. I have been crushing from a far for ten years. This will be our first meeting face to face.

Aw, yay! I so want grilled veggies now.

Ok, you have officially won me over!!! Those peppers look freakin' amazing and you even understand the importance of a non-flesh grill.

*adds Katniss to the crush list*

OMG those jalepenos just made my mouth water!!!!!... i'm soooo Crushing on You and Mopsie right now!!!!

Did you see that pound cake? After seeing the jalapenos I am crushing on Katniss. She had me at cheese.

just toss your
:blueheels: into the fray.... :rrose:

I Crush You a la Kids In The Hall
 

Crush?
 

If there's kissing involved first, you may not make it to a restaurant for lunch.. ;)

Crush?
 

C'mon now.. You girls have to help us out here.. Who's making the potato salad and baked beans? And what about some macaroni salad or pasta salad? And, don't forget dessert.. How 'bout some homemade ice cream and a German chocolate cake or something sweet like that???

On the other hand if they have kissing first then go have lunch and either or both of them order a dish that is heavy on the onions/garlic then you know right away the chemistry is....:badscore:

Katniss~~

Knoxville is less than 2 hours from my house. It gets my vote.

Oh I can totally throw down some hella desserts (layer cakes, etc). I'm also pretty good on side dishes as well.

Hoping I am that Him you are crushing on :blush: I know you are My main crush and have been for a long time now :bunchflowers:

Crush?
 

Now, why'd you wanna go and do that? I'm thinking that if a kiss is involved first, we may be in trouble for the rest of the date... ;)

You can be in trouble all you want on a first date but Sister Mary Bernadette did a very thorough job of injecting Catholic guilt into my system at an impressionable age. When I no longer cared about the state of my soul she made sure I cared about the state of my knuckles. I still have a faint scar across the ridge of the far right two from her metal sided ruler. :|


Katniss~~(Funny how I suddenly miss her. Smart as they come and brought out the best in her students but ruled the class with heavy doses of love and corporal punishment. )

T minus 5 days until I am on my date! I am so excited!!! I am really looking forward to the kiss!
