This recipe comes from Pacifica Culinaria, an online retailer of infused avocado oils and mayos, agave syrups and other gourmet foods you need to check out.

Why use avocado oil? It's similar to the very popular olive oil, has a number of health benefits (which we can use), is high in Omega fatty acids, has no cholesterol and is extremely low in saturated fat. Which means more guacamole for me.

This recipe is easy to throw together, and it's perfect for when she's looking for something light for dinner. It calls for cayenne pepper to give it a kick, but you can adjust the amount to your own tastes. (What good is a date with a burned tongue?) The avocado oil, mayo, citrus vinaigrette and other ingredients are available from www.pacificaculinaria.com, but you can also substitute with whatever you have around the Pad. (Although if you do, I can't guarantee the end result.) ...More

If she asks, go with lobsterettes.

Here's an easy recipe for Lemon Pepper Prawns from our friend Rocky Fino's book, Will Cook For Sex. It's one of those dishes that you can prepare while she watches. ...More
