-- Posted by Artistic Drain at 9:46 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 So my lovely boyfriend decided to invite his director and the director's wife from his project over for dinner. My friend said she would help me cook, but she is vegetarian! So. I need to decide what to make 5 people - the vegetarian will just have salad if she must (she usually just eats cereal for dinner anyway). No pasta or rice, they have had it on set all week. I don't know what to make!! Plus I need wine too, and it has to go with the food. AHH -- Posted by Love Today at 9:47 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 Make chicken. Chicken is always good. Just make sure you cook it good. -- Posted by dreamweaver at 9:48 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 Usually people have pasta with wine, don't they? That's the first thing that pops into my mind when matching food with drinks anyway... Maybe make some sort of casereole or meat dish (chicken?) with veggies? -- Posted by HeavenShallBurn at 9:48 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 I'd say just make some lil pasta dish, and spice it up and make it look fancy... And I would say go wth white wine... its more fancyish... -- Posted by Artistic Drain at 9:48 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 oh, PS, this guy is huge. And his wife is Korean (I can't make Korean food). So I don't even know how much food to make for him. He is a native american, and works out daily....he is a giant! -- Posted by Chocolate Thunda at 9:50 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 Why not make it all vegetarian so she doesn't feel left out? There are plenty of good meals you can make that have no meat and I'm sure you could do without it. If you absolutely refuse sea food and steak is always a go and it's great on top of a salad so you wont have to have pasta or rice and the vegetarian will not feel left out at all. -- Posted by Artistic Drain at 9:52 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 Oh there will be salad for sure. I work with the vegeterian in a kitchen...I know she wont care if we cater to her or not. She is super laid back. -- Posted by Hi Carie at 9:56 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 Cous cous is a really fun lite alternative to pasta/rice. and relatively easy to prepare. It would go great with lamb, pork, or fish. you could do it mediteranean fairly simply. pork is usually a red wine meat fish is white wine, and lamb can be both. i can dig up some pretty cool easy mediteranean dishes for you? -- Posted by MariJani at 9:56 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 You can never go wrong with pasta.   http://allrecipes.com/Search/Recipes.aspx?WithTerm=pasta That website is amazing, because it tells you the recipe AND notes how many stars it has.  There are also comments from the users, and they usually post about how it turned out.
