Instead of treating your date to a superbly cooked meal at your favorite restaurant, why not impress her with a frugal meal for two. With the money you save you could make her (or his) night complete by paying for their bus fare home.
Start with a nice cheap soup. Its your big opportunity to use up some of the items at the back of the fridge (but don't forget to cut off the mouldy bits). Add a touch of curry powder to this to disguise the stale taste.
A good nutritional main meal could be baked beans on toast. Beans are a good source of protein and fibre and have very few side effects.
Then finish off the evening with cheese and biscuits. This will save money on the cooking. For a cheaper recipe exclude the cheese.
I hope these ideas have been of some use to you.
Happy courting.

Beer or plants.
I know which I would choose.
The cool taste of a beer on a hot afternoon greatly outweighs the pretty plants.
Today we spent £150 on a bench for the garden and a further £30 on plants.
The bench could come in handy for sitting down and enjoying a beer. The plants on the other hand. You cant drink a plant. (smoke maybe).
Anyway, the wife had the final word.
I will have to watch the world cup on TV tonight with a cup of coffee.

Donald Trump, American billionaire worth aproximately 2.9 billion and a salary of 60 million a year is 66 today.
He is also a television personality, author and wannabe president.
Married 3 times (the latest one looks a stunner) with 5 children.
Happy birthday The Donald.
