Date Night Dinners - Meals to Make Together for a Romantic Evening: Cookbook for Two by Sloane Taylor
Date Night Dinners - Meals to Make Together for a Romantic Evening: Cookbook for Two - Sloane Taylor

This is a wonderful cookbook. It is actually written for you and your partner to make a meal together. In my house my husband gets in my way, so I cook he eats. A few weeks ago I had surgery on my right arm and have no use of my it for at least 5 more weeks, and I am right handed. Have you ever tried to peel a potato or slice an onion one handed? Doesn't work so well. With the simple recipes in this book the King of Frozen Lasagna can keep me from starving to death. Most of the ingredients in the recipes are found in just about every pantry as well. So we are actually both in the kitchen cooking together. I tell him what to add and he does it. Maybe this is not the way this book was meant to play out but it is working perfectly for us.

I love how there are full meal ideas with each recipe right down to the wine choice. The book is also broken down into sections so finding a meat recipe, a veggie recipe, and a sauce is so easy. There are 80 recipes in this cookbook.  They are also easy enough to double and triple if you are feeding more then 2.

I have actually made a few of the recipes since receiving this book. My favorite one so far, not that they haven't all been wonderful is, Marinated Pork Tenderloin.  This was very easy to prepare and cook. The meat was so juicy and flavorful, my husband and I loved it. He even took leftovers for work the next day and after being reheated in the microwave it was still juicy.

Date Night (a flash fiction story) by Chuck Grossart
Date Night (a flash fiction story) - Chuck Grossart

I received a free kindle copy of Date Night, A Flash Fiction Story by Chuck Grossart in an Amazon promotion.

I gave this very short story four stars.

"Most people would have called the police...but not Tempest Finn.

From the time she was sixteen, she'd been on her own, with no one to rely on but herelf. Life had been tough, but Tempest was tougher. This was her problem, & she'd handle it alone."

This story definitely kept my attention.

Date Night on Union Station (EarthCent Ambassador Book 1)
Date Night on Union Station (EarthCent Ambassador Book 1) - E. M. Foner You jump back and forth each chapter between the two main characters until they finally meet at the end. Interesting way to do things, but the ending is so incredibly ridiculous that it ruins the whole thing. These people don't even know each other but they get married in an alley while walking home at the end of their date. The book loses a whole star for that.

The other issue is that the author very obviously had an idea of How Things Work in this world they've created. But they did not do a very good job of explaining it at all. I'm not even sure theoretical physicists could have made sense out of some of these explanations. And things were explained very matter of factually, not convincingly or in an educational sense. It wasn't so much explained to you as told to you. "This is how it is, period." The literary equivalent of "Because I said so." But way more complicated and using words you have to look up in the dictionary.

Aside from that, it was an engrossing little drama that had just the right amount of humor and intrigue to make up for the lack of romance throughout the first 95% of the book. I'm not sure if I'd recommend it, but I don't regret reading it.
