Cheap Couples Date Night #1

Someone had the bright idea a couple of months ago to do a couples date night with the one limitation that the cost could not exceed $10.00 per couple. Cheap couples date night was born. The Christopherson's agreed to host the first couples date night this past weekend with a "iron chef" theme. For our version they decided to pit the girls versus the guys- the guys in our house and the girls next door at the Stoph's.



Like the show, we had a limited time element to create and cook our master piece using a couple of randomly chosen ingredients.



Both guys and girls had to use chicken and cinnamon as the unique ingredient to craft their masterpiece. The guys made this exquisite hot crab dip with pecan crusted chicken, fresh cheese biscuits, cauliflower casserole (southern style) and creme broule. Impressive I know. Robb was truly in his element- bossing everyone around like he was the head chef. Greg's contribution was the Country Time Lemonade.



The girls made these oily sandwiches, gravy soup with some funky dip and some day old lookin cake.



I know your thinking that cake below looks pretty good. Sometimes presentation isn't everything, it's the only thing- literally.





Mom and Dad agreed to be the "impartial" judges. After a long period of deliberation they came back with the verdict.




Like always, the guys never get a fair break. Yep, that's right- they voted for the girls version of "food".

Oh well. Great time and a good way to spend $10.00.

I enjoyed Jeremy's video. Very brave of him to jump into the ring of fire to video the girls (the competition) in the middle of cooking. :)

The girls food was VASTLY superior to the boys. "After the coating, it was just chicken." Words to lose by, boys!
