Ok so I have a date coming up soon with this girl that is hot and has a great personality, but it will be our first date so im not sure what to do. So I thought I would get some help from the forum to see what yall thought. She said something about watching a movie at my house on the couch. Which works great for me so I dont have to spend more money than I have to. So I told her that I would cook her dinner so know here is the dilema. I have some hamburger and everything else is frozen so I have to use it. My question is does anyone have some suggestions to what flavor of hamburger helper I should use to cook for her and what type of wine will go with it. I figured if i get some wine she will get drunk and it will help my chances.
Any suggestions?

haha.. thats a 1st on this forum - good luck mang

WonderMike

I need it man. Im just not sure what kind to go with though they have so many choices these days, they use to only have 3or 4 but now there is like 25. Im so confused.

Jackelope

I'm not the person to ask, my 1st date was 10+ years ago haha - that and i'm a horrible cook.

but here's a free *bump*

WonderMike

Thanks anyway man. Maybe someone else will give me a hand.

dude...."what kind of wine goes with Hamburger Helper"?!?!? HAHAHAHA. If you cook hamburger helper she's going to bail.

At least spring for some casual takeout and have it warming in the oven when she shows up.

She's going to think you're broke like me.

p.s. Don't serve wine if you can't afford more than Hamburger Helper. Serve her Thunderbird or some other 40oz liquor.

40s ftw.. homeless people leave them in my front yard all the time lol

WonderMike

Hey Kansei I really am kind of broke at the moment can you mail me some of the left over ones and I will just pour them into one container. And for the wine I was thinking that the box wine is pretty cheap isnt it or has it went up in price.

If you're broke just have her over for some instant popcorn and a movie. $5 tops and just get a feel for her. If she's worth investing more money into you only need 1 kidney to live.

...I have always wanted to sell a kidney for Miata money

WonderMike

I could do that whole popcorn thing but im wanting to show off some off my cooking skills and plus she wants a whole meal not a snack.

when she comes over just feed her some "tube steak and eggs"...lmao.

Easy 'real' meal?
A chili is super easy - you have the hamburger, just buy a pack of old el paso chili powder, it tells you what you need.
Then just cook the chili, and throw everything else in, heat in a pot - done.

Either that or Nachos Grande - just dump some nachos on a plate, put cooked hamburger meat, lettuce and dice tomatoes on top, add some shredded cheese. Oven on 'broil' for a few minutes (watch it) until cheese melts. Serve with salsa and sour cream.

Super easy, and all you really need is frozen hamburger for either, and a few other cheap ingredients.

I'm an excellent cook, and you can always do chicken parmesan. It's easy, somewhat cheap, and you'll have a lot of leftovers. All you need is:
Pasta Sauce - $.88 (x2) - $8.00
Pasta - $.90
Chicken - approx $7.00 for 4 boneless breasts.
Parmesan Cheese - $2.00 or less
Bread Crumbs - $2.00 or less
One Egg - $2.00/Dozen

If you want, I can tell you how to make it. It's easy, and she'll be impressed with your mad cooking skillz!
