My friend is having her boyfriend over for dinner tomorrow night (it was their 3 month today) and shes cooking him dinner. She has no idea what to cook though. He likes vegtables (NOT vegan though, still eats meat) and spearmint. I suggested baked vegtables but she dosent like that...Little Miss fussy. Anyway shes freaking out so any help she'll be grateful. If you dont know the recepie just the name of the dih will do. THANKS :)
What to cook for special dinner ?
Chicken Marsala, roasted asparagus, red roasted potatoes
Eggplant Parmesan
Lasagna
Beef Wellington
Salmon Wellington
Shrimp scampi
Gnocci
Baked Stuffed Shells
Manicotti
Lemon/Rosemary roasted chicken, potatoes %26amp; veggies
Reply:She could cook lamb chops dressed with garlic and mint and served with couscous (grains cooked in broth).
Asparagus or broccoli would be good, too.
Reply:Peas with mint, lamb with mint. Any sort of potato dish with chicken or beef. I made Golden Parmesan Potatos the other day that were easy and so good. Mix 1 cup of white flour, 1 cup of parmesan cheese, salt %26amp; peper to taste, some paprika (optional) %26amp; 1 cup of plain bread crumbs. Take 4 baking potatoes and cut into wedges. Heat a stick of butter and pour it into an oven proof baking dish. Moisten the potato wedges with water and dredge the wedges in the parmesan, flour mixture. Place the wedges skin side down in the buttered baking dish. Place in a pre-heated 400 degree oven. After 15 minutes turn the potatoes to one side to brown. After another 15 minutes turn and brown the other side. A great dish to make when you are doing other things in the kitchen so you don't forget to turn them. Green salad or other colorful veggie with a nice dessert to round out the meal.
Reply:For a special romantic dinner it is nice to cook foods that you can feed each other - shrimp cocktail, chocolate fondue, etc. Since he like veggies, I would suggest bagna cauda, hummus and crostini, stuffed mushrooms, and definitley chocolate!
Reply:Try chicken fried steak, with cream gravy, mashed potatoes, and greens...peach dumplings with vanilla ice cream for dessert (oh, and a salad wouldn't hurt things).
Reply:Salmon, risotto and peas
BROILED FILLETS OF SALMON WITH GINGER CREAM
The broiled salmon fillets are served with a creamy and tangy ginger sauce. Salmon steaks can also be used with this recipe.
Serves 2
2 6-ounces salmon fillets, with the skin
1 tsp vegetable oil
to taste, salt, ground black pepper
1 cups fish stock
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 tablespoons shallots, chopped
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 tsp fresh ginger, grated
1 ounce butter
2 tsp fresh ginger, peeled cut into fine strips
2 tsp fresh chives, cut into 1/2-inch sticks
1/2 teaspoon paprika
For the sauce:
In a large saucepan, combine the fish stock, white wine, and shallots. Bring to a boil and reduce the liquid by half. Add the heavy cream and the grated ginger. Bring the liquid back to a boil. Continue to reduce by half or until lightly thickened.
Strain the sauce through a fine strainer. Whisk in the butter, a few bits at the time. Set the sauce aside, and keep in a warm place.
Preheat the broiler. Wash the salmon fillets in cold water. Pat dry. Arrange side by side skin side up in an oiled oven-proof dish. Season with salt and pepper. Place the salmon under the broiler, 4 inches from the source of heat.
Broil for 10 to 12 minutes until the skin is crisp and the flesh is opaque.
Cover the bottom of hot plates with some of the hot ginger sauce. Arrange a piece of salmon in the center of each plate. Sprinkle the salmon with strips of ginger and chives. Pour remaining sauce over the fish. Dust with paprika. Serve hot.

Cons about chewing gum...?
okay, i'll admit, i chew gum a lot but this time i got caught chewing it in Mrs. Belks class, and I wasn't even chewing it! It was at the top of my mouth! She has XRay vision i bet..
anyways. She gave me a theme which is where you have to type half a page on why you will never chew gum again, and this is what i have so far.
Theme--Chewing Gum
There are many pros and cons to chewing gum. Chewing gum stimulates salivation, which helps neutralize the acid produced by bacteria, possibly, it can help mental concentration . Vigorous chewing uses up 11 calories an hour, which may help weight loss, fractionally. It can be a substitute for smoking – especially nicotine-containing gum – and it’s helpful in equalizing air pressure in the middle ear when flying.
Here’s the downside. Too much chewing wears the enamel on the teeth. Spearmint gum can stimulate stomach acid secretion, which may cause individual problems.
I need some more cons...helpp! thanks! ?
Cons about chewing gum...?
Ok here what some of my patients complaints about and these are the ones that used to chew gum alot:
Pain the cheek, this is due to over work the muscles .
Pain on the side of the head , the same above reason.
Headache ..
TMJ problems, this is due to over wrok the condyles in the TMJ which had before a problem which was never felt until The TMJ is over worked for a long time like chewing gum for a long long time.
As for the stomch over secret which can lead to future problems i never heared this yet.
Reply:fyi....chewing doesn't wear the enamel on teeth...
sorry
Reply:In Europe they say people chewing gum look like cows chewing grass, and just as dumb! Chewing may be acceptable to teens, but to adults it looks dumb, and is considered rude and childish.
Apparently Ms Belk has a rule about not chewing in her class. So perhaps as part of this essay you should discuss WHY you felt you could get away with it. It's not as if the flavor was going to last through the entire class period. Which brings me to another downside to gum. Once the flavor's gone, instead of disposing of it properly (you should have kept the wrapper to put the used gum in prior to throwing it away IN THE TRASH) we usually find it dropped on the sidewalk, the parking lot, benches, underside of desks, in fact anyplace the gum chewer happens to be when they take it from their mouths. The discarded gum gets on shoes and is tracked into homes and cars, to be ground into the carpets, thus ruining them. Same with baby stroller wheels. If mama has a toddler she can't take her eyes off them for fear they'll stoop down and pick up the discarded gum......shall I go on?

How would you make a gentlemen club better for both employees and clients?
First I want to say thanks in advanced for opening this posting. Now to the task at hand. I am in the process of wanting to start the best gentlemen club in the Los Angeles county. Now I'm up against big clubs like "The Rouge", "Spearmint Rhino", "Scores", and other small local clubs aswell. I'm wanting true opinions from both dancers and visitors. For example...I hate not hearing a song being played all the way through. You kind of feel cheated huh? If I'm paying for a whole song, I wanna hear it all the way through. Now granted, I can't expect to hear the 30 minute version of Stairway to Heaven for a dance. So tell me what are your likes %26amp; dislikes, what would you like to see more of? Be honest as this is part of my marketing research.
Now for my lovely ladies, how do the club managements or owners treat you? What is the criteria for you being at their club? Payroll? Pay to work? what are the terms and how would you perfered to make your cash? If the ladies are exceptional in their craft, then it will show in the returning clients.
I just want to thank you once again and will make the most use of this information given to me by all of you. I look foward to starting my American Dream, by including my fellow Americans.

As in any 'service' or entertainment business, customer service and attention to detail are paramount.
The more involved the staff is, the more the establishment appears to be genuinely interested in the customer. This is the key to return business.
Good Luck!

I am looking for NON mint and NON cinnamon mouth wash. I loathe those flavors... help!?
Also, I'm not 5 so bubblegum is not gonna fly either. I really hate both of those flavors- so please, no, "this vanilla mint blah, blah blah doesn't taste like mint at all!" Yes, it does.
I'm looking for Anise or Fennel or Rosemary or plum... I don't really care as long as it is truly mint and cinnamon free- also any of the mint offspring- spearmint, winter, fresh- they don't fool me. I really do want alternatives to the mainstream minty crowd. And I know about Tom's of Maine- Lemon Lime- or whatever that is... I'm just looking for more options. Thanks in advance.

50mg/day Zoloft, VERY bad nausea!?
I've recently (2 days ago) been put on Zoloft, 50mg/day, for GAD. I am experiencing a number of symptoms, most of which I know are common for SSRIs.. and I know out of the SSRIs, Zoloft is known for causing the most GI side effects.
But, the nausea is bad. It feels like what women describe morning sickness nausea. It just started today shortly after my dose (which I took without a meal, got delayed going to eat). I expected the nausea from an empty stomach but not for it to last the entire day!
I will be taking Zoloft at night from now on, hopefully the nausea will pass in my sleep, but I am also taking Ambien to sleep, and heard that it reduces the efficiency of Zoloft? Should I no take them near the same time?
Any natural remedies for the nausea? Right now I'm drinking spearmint tea.
50mg/day Zoloft, VERY bad nausea!?
I was on zoloft and I slowly gained twenty plus pounds. I didnt experience any nausea but the weight gain was more than I could handle. I would try the zoloft at night before you went to sleep and see if you can get a good nights sleep without the ambien. If not, try tylenol PM. That should work. If it doesnt, I suppose you can resume the ambien.
Its, more or less, trial and error. You need to get on the right mix of meds for U. Believe me, your body will tell you when your on the right meds. Listen to your body and tell the doctor accordingly. Good luck and good health.
Reply:The logical thing would be to talk to your doctor and see what he/she says.
Reply:Hi... if your doctor knew you were already taking ambien and prescribed it with the zoloft, then apparently he knew what he was doing? You could remind him about it, if you are uncomfortable about it.
Meanwhile, many side effects of anti-depressants do tend to subside after the first couple of weeks.
I'd also recommend talking with the doctor about this, if it's really bad. There is no sense taking a medication which causes you problems or doesn't work well (it's to early to tell, but many people continue taking meds which dont help a bit).
have you tried tums? just a suggestion?

Help! I'm trying to grow plants inside?!?
I live in a dorm room in Michigan, and my room mate (bless her hippy soul) is trying to grow plants (Aloe, fennel, chamomile, spearmint, strawberries, and lilac) inside. She sets them on the window ledge durring the day to get sun, but it's always so cold there that we worry they will freeze! So to try and stop this, we move them away from the window when the sun is down. They are all in one aquarium-like-thing, and we keep the dirt moist all the time (which we aren't sure is good for the aloe?) but never flooded. THey have been planted for about 2-3 weeks, but no signs of sprouting! The aloe was transplanted, and is it still looking perfect, so we don't think we are doing TOO badly, but what will help? Should we buy some sort of special light bulb to put over them because the sun s really poor here? is there a plant food we should use? ANY ideas? She wants them to grow so bad, she dreams about them, lol...
Help! I'm trying to grow plants inside?!?
get some full spectrum flourescents, the more watts the better, but at least 200 watts, as far as watering you only want to get the soil nice and moist then dont water for about 5 days or until it sprouts, then water it only once every other day or even every 3rd day, ive only grown one kind of plant inside hehe, so i dont know if this will work with your plants but i would think itd be the same
Reply:Bottom heat is the answer here. Go out and buy a food warmer plate. Those can be set for about 85+ F and the pots placed onto the warmer plate. I use 95 F as indicated on thermometer placed in germination medium for hundreds of tomato and vegitable plants and flowers.
This is also a wonderful device to germinate planted seeds on. Take and germinate in sterile medium, then immediately after germination place in sterile soil.
You probably are making two mistakes here. One is too cold and drafty near the window, fix that with bottom heat. The second, you arent using sterile soils and germination medium. Make sure even the pots are sterile.
Reply:well, use miracle grow soil, the make stuff for indoor plants. also, use room temp. bottle water, you dont know what is in the water in dorms, lol. i drove across country and my rose bush was 'dormant' in 40-50 degree weather, but once i put it in 68 degrees, and watered it everyday, WOW! it is now 2-3ft tall, with lots of leaves on it! They also make miracle grow formula, the type you mix with water, for plants, the general stuff, works, it doesn't have to be 'plant specific'. i am sure once you warm them up and get good soil for them, they will grow. and i don't think you water aloe that much, just 1-2 times a week.
Reply:To much water for some plants are bad. Even if the soil is just moist. try a bigger container so the roots and spread out. more sun the better. some plants dont like it to how either.
Reply:hahahaha any "old hippy soul" should know the best way to get plants (of any kind hehehehehe) to grow indoors is a sodium or metal halide lamp.....they are expensive, but well worth the cost.....the light is the closest to actual sunlight and will cause the plants to literally explode with growth, as well as keeping the soil warm enough to promote fast growth and flowering. keep the light within 18 inches of the top of the plant and raise as necessary.
Reply:you say tth they r all plnted together? they r all probly compeating for space and trying to get th biggest root system goin, plants tht r perminatky in th same pot will not grow tht big because ther roots will get whats called root bound or they become to many, also they dont grow tht much in winter/autom due to low temps
Reply:You will find plants in doors are not effected by outside temp. Think of light and how it effects you, as in day time, night time. So the plant does get some kind light. You can go to a feed and seed store and find a seed pack that gives you the info on the plant. How much water, temp and ect. Over watering is the number one killer of houes plants. Remember you are watering a plant not a pot when watering. Write me if you want to know some other simple tricks on house plants.
Reply:Make a box they can sit in, take up foil and get
one of those photographer lights, but you are going to put a gro light in it, attach the light to the edge of the box and turn it off when it is warm. Plants can get root rot if they are wet all the time in the house. Change the soil using a clean soil you buy at the nursery. Y0u only need on light, unless you also have a MJ plant.
Put a timer on the light so it isn't always on.
It's probalbly warm when you are in the apartment. Take it from an old hippie, your plants will love you. When you water, let the water settle for a few hours to get rid of the cholorine. Give the roots a chance to get some air Not to much water, let the roots dry out, but not enough that the leaves fall off or shrivle up. I hade a hydrophonics system in Nevada, it is so easy and simple find a book on it, plants love the combination of air, water, heat, and sun. But I grew in a summer clime. I have grown plants in a closet and they got to be over six feet. God luck. (peace) as they used to say. right on bro. heh
Oh yeah, plants like food such as nitrogen. Follow the directions. A little once a month will keep them green and the leaves healthy.
