Here is a chance to throw out something you did recently as and activity that you enjoyed. Nah we know everyone enjoys that. I am hoping people will share a hobby or interest that would make being on a date mutually interesting.

I recently went to a near by Vineyard for a picnic lunch. I am not a huge wine enthusiast but it was a lovely outing and I learned a little about food pairings so as a hobby chef it was really interesting. .

Just came in from tending the ol vegetable garden and the compost heap. When I go back out I gotta tame me some blackberry bushes. Good fruit but they're going wild.

Learned you some wine pairing, huh? So, tell me, what meat do I serve with blackberry wine? I usually go with a succulent hillbilly steak (fried bologna).

I love doing Zip Lines and think this would make on helluva first date.

You should wear a batman suit the next time you go! I'd watch that on youtube!

Me as Batman and my date as Wonder Woman.....oh I like this idea!

went to gym
lifted weights
was sore for two days
did I enjoy it? oooooh yes

Masochist!

On Mother's day I went with friends up a couple of rivers on a airboat.
it was a blast.. Had a hot dog roast right on a gravel bar in the middle of the river.
We looked for rocks, found a couple of small nuggets and lots and lots of colour.

I think this would be a great date...



Goof that would be an awesome date...

I did it, zip lines, years ago and yes it is a blast.

I also think playing on the river panning and roasting Hot dogs is stellar date plan.


As for the wine pairing if I get it right, giving I am a newbie) with blackberries A smokey vintered Merlot or middle range Zinfandel unless you are serving the berries as dessert then try a sparkling and or a late harvest fortified wine even Muscat. OOPs I read your post backward what to serve with blackberry wine? I am going to say either Korean BBQ or a slow Smoked beef tritip.

Balogne for Hillbilly Hash (yummy) forget wine and go with a good apple smoked beer.

You should hear about my limo date.

There's a place near me called Bobbie's, they sell freaking awesome frozen custard, and starting in June they have free bands every Friday and Saturday. It's an eclectic mix, and I so love going to listen and having a turtle sundae!!

That sounds groovy!

Where I live there are live bands at least three times a week in open air venues with free admission, and there is at least one festival of some sort every week, often 3 or 4 are going on at a time. Wine tastings everyday of the week.

But, DAGGONNIT, we got no frozen custards!

What is this "recreation" thing you speak of?

What is it with you today PacStar? All this wine and liquor talk!

(Thought of referring to you as PAC MA'AM)

This is such a great thread! You all are so cool! Food, cooking, gardening, wine tasting, river airboating.....awesome!!!!!

Awww.... I'd share my frozen custard with you!

even your turtle toppings?

OK, Whew! It says turtle toppings, thought for a minute I had typed turtle droppings!
