Dinner date

I'm afraid I disagree with your grilled chicken choice LO... I grill a lot and still manage to fuck up chicken... (and even when its not fucked up, it's still just chicken *yawn*) unless you're talking about a George Foreman (does Fresh have a real grill?).
I think the stir fry over rice or noodles sounds like the best idea so far - you can make that as simple or interesting as you want depending on ingredients. You can prepare in advance but cook whenever you're ready.

I swear by the ease of grilled chicken. I have the foreman and a regular grill and it works well on both, but for the newbie the foreman is easier.

the marinade really makes the meal. absolutely melts in your mouth when done right.

ya got me.

Really it is pretty easy though. On the foreman, I usually let them sit on one side for 7-10 minutes, make the flip, let them go for another 5 and then make a center cut to check the color. I like them juicy on the outside but cooked all the way through. Yes, I'm anal retentive about making sure the grill lines go the same direction.

I agree with Lookout's menu here:

..but substitute baked salmon for grilled chicken. Lightly grease a baking sheet, throw a slab of salmon on it, spray salmon with cooking oil based pan lube, season lightly with garlic powder, onion powder, and perhaps a tiny dab of ginger. Then smother the whole thing with *mild* picante sauce and bake at 350 for one hour or thereabouts. Foolproof. You cannot burn it (assuming you do in fact remove it from the oven after one hour or thereabouts), it is unerringly moist and incredibly flavorful.

The cost does go up - salmon costs five times what chicken costs - but it is worth it, and you appear to be creative and trendy. But, by all means, if you mean for this lassie to become moist around you at some point, you *must* cook for her. Its like a shortcut into their pants if you do a good job. I don't know why, but it is.
