    He’s not wrong. I’ve brought women home many times by cooking for them. Guys, learn a few easy recipes and you won’t regret it. My go to is chicken and broccoli alfredo or carbonara fettuccine.

      My favorite go to recipe is a lentil soup with spinach, lime, coconut milk, and curry. It’s really refreshing, especially after a hard day of carrying bridges across the Shattered Plains.

      When I was dating that was basically my go-to reason for inviting someone over, but that usually was at least 3-5 dates in. Usually we’d have eaten at cool restaurants where we’ve had full blown conversations about food, and where I’ll have introduced the idea that I’m a great cook who knows what I’m doing, and then at a certain point I’d offer my place for a dinner date, and then show off. And we’d already be alone at my place so it wasn’t that much of a stretch for them to stay over.

      Honestly I don’t know how I would’ve approached dating if I didn’t know how to cook.

        Good suggestion. I usually steam them since I like the florets still crunchy. I’ll try roasting next time!

          It brings out a whole new world of flavor. Truly surprising. Just toss with a little olive oil and bake at 450 degrees for 15 minutes or so.
