Suck my damn balls.
Lipstick Apathy
Hey, GWS. I recently started seeing a girl who enjoys cooking as much as I do, and we've got a date set up this weekend. She's going to come over to my place and we're going to cook a meal together!

I've got a modest sized kitchen for a twenty-something living in an apartment and I was searching for good meals that you could bond over. I have a pretty standard residential set up. Four burner stove, oven, a couple crock pots, and all sorts of cookery.

What I'm asking for is any recommendations for meals that could be fun to use as a basis for conversation and offers us each enough room to operate so that we're not just both standing in the kitchen waiting for one item to finish.

There's a site that has a few recipes split into chef/sous-chef roles http://cookingincouples.com/dinners.html But it is pretty limited in it's scope.

I was thinking of multiple simple dishes. Maybe some kind of meat object that could get some preparation before getting thrown in the oven while the other person chops up veggies/ingredients for a stove-top adventure, and then maybe some kind of reduction sauce and them something that can be cold prepared on the side, like guac.


TLDR: I'm looking for a meal that can keep two awkward people busy enough that they don't get weird, but might foster some sort of dialog.
