Sara stood in front of the dining room table awed at the spread and before she could pull out her chair, Blake was there. "Such a gentleman," she thought.
"Please sit, my lady," Blake bowed like the 18th-century British man.
"Thank you, my lord," Sara chuckled as she sat down.
When Blake volunteered to cook dinner, she thought it would be spaghetti and garlic bread, not this elaborate meal he had planned. This was just the first course, and there were a lot of dishes on the table already.
Blake served her 3 different kinds of appetizers, baked stuffed mushroom, bacon-wrapped dates, and charred Brussels sprouts, "Try these and tell me what you think," he said expectantly.
Each appetizer she tried introduced a different sensation in her mouth. The mushrooms were very creamy, but it had a spicy kick to it that she did not expect. The dates were a combination of sweet and salty, and the Brussel sprouts just melted in your mouth.
