MASH Potatoe? You do realise he's doing this for a GIRL other than his mother, right? I mean, put yourself in the girls shoes... They're going to look at that mash potatoe, and think.. Hrmm.. I've got to eat this, and try to even keep part of my dignity/look sexy - poor girl. Anyway, stick with something that tastes good, is a small serving, that doesn't smell too strong and looks good on the dish. Also, make sure it's something she's had before, as you don't want to get her at all nervous (unless you want her to act more spontaneously, and you're sure that spontaneous behaviour won't end in you not hitting it at the end of the night) - although I guess that you both were going out for a while, she will probably just say "Arrr I'm starvin'" and scoff it all down. :/ Either way, you should know her, and she could use this as a test to see how well you do know her, so think carefully, and it will probably be wise to disregard everything everybody has said, including myself, and just think about the past, and what did/did not work - try to trigger good memories, that always works well with girls. -Lynx
