To my surprise when she said she was coming over for dinner I didn't think she'd be cooking from scratch.
In the short time we've been dating we haven't really cooked much for each other too much. I cooked for her twice already, the first time was breakfast 😉 . So sweet of her, hope she treats me to some home cooking again. Luckily I also like cooking but I think I will have to up my game from easy bachelor life food. We'll see what I can do.
First up we have Cola Chicken Wings
See end of post for recipe
These were delicious, I think I asked her a few weeks ago if she knew how to make it because it's been a while since I last had them. They used be in most family restaurants but I think they fell out of fashion. However they are still an awesome way to have braised chicken wings.
Fried Rice with Sliced Chinese Sausages
Boiled Pipa Shrimp.
I have never seen this in Canada. It's quite popular in Dalian as it's a seafood city. I'm sure these guys are easy to farm keeping the price reasonable. I added a dish of melted butter, almost just like little lobsters but a different texture.
I provided the Swedish Dane Chocolate cake. I didn't bake it, I bought it at Ikea frozen. I will be buying another and another and another.
It was a nice dinner. I wonder if leaving flowers on her car on the first know had anything to do with it.

That cola chicken looks awesome, excited to try out the recipe, thanks! And the flowers on the car is a smooth move. Great post!
Thanks. I thought the flowers were a nice touch. You're gonna love the wings.
Awesome. Can’t wait!
Wow looks like you got yourself a keeper! Those pups shrimps are actually very tasty though they look like aliens !
Seeing that Daim cake I feel I must make a visit to IKEA very soon ! Daim is one of my favorites as well :)
They do look like aliens. haha. I call them the cockraoches of the ocean.
That's the right word for them they are cockshrimps !
That's better than Shrimpycocks. lol
Haha lol :)
Wow, you went all out on the cake, I hope she realises how lucky she is!
Kidding, I hope it all goes well for you both.
Getting the that cake was tough. I had take a taxi to get to ikea, battle through the labyrinth and countless people that seem to think Ikea is an amusement park rather a shop. Hope doesn't ask me to make one. lol
Oh, Ikea, in fact yes, you busted your ass for that cake ha ha!
Wow! delicious food
