It's the HOLIDAYS man, if you aren't getting laid, then you REALLY screwed something up! Every girl I ever knew wanted her favorite guy during the Holidays!
Big, shiney hard rocks hidden in a dish of dog food will get an average guy laid- if you happen to even TRY and cook something yourself, then you'll get laid twice.(at least)
Kudos to the guys who even TRY and cook something- that alone says things to a girl who's already "into" you. If you INVITE her to "help" you cook, then it REALLY means something, and she'll be truly intrigued by you. Cooking, like sex, should be FUN, and you can have a ball together- a few choice glasses of wine (or your favorite drink), and it will be a meal to remember, forever.
Like a few other couples here, I cook, and SHE bakes. Together, we have a hell of a time making a mess in the kitchen- and then later throughout the house. My girl is "meat and potatoes", so she's easy to please throughout the year...
If you've got the right girl, she'll appreciate the fact that you tried. This is a tasty recipe, by the way!
Happy Holidays, and have some FUN!
