THE MENU
The Salad:
Assorted greens. (Mesclun greens are readily available and look good on a plate)
Juice of one lemon
1 tablespoons of Dijon mustard
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
Mix the mustard with the lemon juice. Slowly add the oil, stirring constantly until it is all incorporated. Season with salt and pepper. Place handfuls of greens on plate and drizzle scant tablespoons of oil over the greens. Doesn’t get any easier.
The Entrée:
2 8 ounce tuna steaks, cut 3/4 inch thick
2 tablespoons of butter
1 teaspoon capers (drained)
1 tablespoons of lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
2 tablespoons of olive oil
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Heat the oil in a non-stick saucepan. Add the tuna steaks and cook for 2 minutes per side. Remove the tuna. Add the lemon juice, zest, mustard and capers. Heat through and serve over the tuna steaks.
The Dessert:
Any store bought sorbet. After the dinner you’ve just served up, you can buy dessert. Serve in a champagne glass with fresh strawberries. Save the whipped cream for the bedroom.
CHICK FLICKS FOR GUYS
Perhaps it won't be necessary tonight, but at some point in the relationship you're going to have to concede action-packed movies with explosions and car chases for sappy yarns with hugs and kisses. Consider suggesting these movies for a romantic evening on the couch.
 AS GOOD AS IT GETS Helen Hunt, Jack Nicholson, Greg Kinnear
Why she'll like it: A single mother/waitress, a misanthropic author, and a gay artist form an unlikely friendship. And it has a cute little dog in it.
Why you'll like it: Watching Jack Nicholson's crotchety, neurotic, reclusive character deal with sick children and homosexuals is priceless. Just about everything that comes out of his mouth is entertaining.
 JERRY MAGUIRE Tom Cruise, Renée Zelweger
Why she'll like it: Tom Cruise's fall from grace motivates his quest for professional recovery, and the slow-dawning realization that he needs the love, respect and support of Renée Zellweger. And it has a cute little kid in it.
Why you'll like it: Renée Zelweger hits the sweet spot when it comes to brains, beauty and sexuality and writer-director Cameron Crowe stars as the voice of our generation. Plus the movie has just enough sports to make you forget it's a romantic comedy. But we had you at Renée Zelweger.
 CASABLANCA Humphrey Bogart, Ingred Bergman
Why she'll like it: It is a unique, sophisticated story of a love triangle set against terribly high stakes during World War II.
Why you'll like it: As Rick, Humphrey Bogart creates one of the coolest characters in movie history. Also, people reference and quote this movie all the time--and you wouldn't want to be left out. Oh, and there's Nazis. Here's looking at you, kid.
 GREASE John Travolta, Olivia Newton-John
Why she'll like it: Chicks dig crunchy-on-the-outside, gooey-on-the-inside types and watching the leather jacket wearing, hunky hood with a heart-of-gold Danny Zuko sing toe-tapping tunes will have her dancing in your seat.
Why you'll like it: The metaphorically brilliant, inuendoed lyrics of Greased Lightnin' -- "With new boosters, plates and shocks, I can get her on my rocks. You know that I ain't braggin', she's a real pussy wagon - Greased Lightnin'" And because: a hickey from Kenickie is like a Hallmark card.
 TITANIC Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Winslet
Why she'll like it: Leonardo DiCaprio.
Why you'll like it: The boat sinks.
 WHEN HARRY MET SALLY Billy Crystal, Meg Ryan
Why she'll like it: This is the romantic comedy by which all other romantic comedies are now judged. Boy meets girl, girl hates boy, they become friends and then fall in love.
Why you'll like it: With Billy crystal as a basketball referee, there are plenty of cameo appearances from NBA players like Kareem Abdul Jabbar and Charles Barkley. Oh wait, that was that other Woody Allen-esque movie with Billy Crystal that was exactly like this one.
