Answers:
I'd do something fairly straightforward and simple that won't keep you stuck in the kitchen all evening while your date drinks all the wine!
How about Prawn Cocktail or
Avocado with tinned crab in it as a starter!.!.!.!.you can make this up and leave it in the fridge so all your prep is done in advance!.
Same with desert!.!.!.!.go simple with fresh strawberries and cream or sorbet and fresh mango pieces [you can even buy the tropical fruit stuff frozen for smoothies and just defrost those and serve with a few crushed meringue nests and a blob of good old vanilla ice cream]
Again, these are dishes that you can prep in advance to leave you more time at the table wooing your date with your brilliant small talk!
For mains I'd go stir-fry [ Pre packed stir fry vegetables, pre packed noodles ad cooked prawns or chicken or beef, whack in a jar of special stir fry sauce - something nice lick lemon and ginger or something a bit more exotic than sweet and sour]
Because of all the colour in the veg you don't need to bother with side salads and rice etc unless you really want to!.
#Or something like Chile con Carne which again you can make up in advance and then just quickly boil up the rice when you're ready
Always nice to have a few decent chocolates to serve with coffee after!.
Have fun!
Keep it simple
Hope they appreciate the effort
PS What time shall I arrive!? :o)Www@FoodAQ@Com

Coch-a-vin(!?) (chicken with white wine sauce) is always good!. Carefully broil the chicken (skin on), in pieces or whole, basted often with butter, dry white wine, some garlic, parsley and a little lemon juice!. You could add some sage, if you like!. Test by probing into the thicker parts near the bone to see if blood comes out!. Don't do that more than necessary or you will lose too much moisture!. Start broiling the bottom and turn it over when that browns!.
Asparagus or artichoke would be good with it!. Steam the artichoke well after cutting off the stem, top, and spines, and spread the leaves so the steam gets down in!. The asparagus must be steamed carefully and removed while it is still a little crispy and bright green!. Blanch it with a splash of cold water so it doesn't continue to cook!. You may need to warm it a little in steam before serving, but don't cook it any more!.
The artichoke can be cooked with garlic, basil and sage sprinkled over it; and served with mayonnaise or melted butter!. Asparagus is good with butter melted on it and a little basil or tarragon sprinkled on!.
Steam rice with some peas and small, young carrot pieces in it and saffron (if you can afford that - it's expensive)!.
Vovray or Peisporter will be pretty good wines and shouldn't be too expensive!. Decent Chardonnay is always good!.
You can cook the rice and artichoke ahead of time and just resteam it a little to warm it up!. Asparagus needs to be cooked just before eating and the chicken should be started 15 minutes before the guest's arrival, assuming they are a punctual type!. Watch the chicken closely!. Broiling is hot and fast!. Put it farther from the heat if it is cooking too fast on the surface (closer if it is not sizzling some)!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

SOME!.!.!.Budget Minded Recipes!.!.!.you might try:
COLA CHICKEN
(And more variations of recipe)
(My favorite: Wings or Ribs)
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 cup catsup
1 12oz!. can cola (pepsi, coke, etc!.)
Put chicken in a non-stick pan!.
Mix together catsup and cola, pour over chicken!.
Bring to a boil!. Cover, reduce heat and cook 45 minutes!.
(turning chicken a few times, while cooking!.!.!.to prevent from
sticking to pan)
Uncover, turn up the heat and continue to cook until the sauce
becomes thick and adheres to the chicken!.
It turns into the most incredible BBQ sauce!. Yummmm!
You can double the recipe and use more pieces of
chicken!.!.!.!.wings!.!.!.would be ideal!.!.!.add some hot
sauce!.!.!.!.presto "Hot
Wings"!
I have used Ribs, just as good!.
I tried this recipe with 'meatballs'!.!.!.!.was equally
as good!.!.!.served over rice!.
I found another variation!.!.!.!.!.omit the catsup and add a small
jar of Salsa (any variety)!.
I have tried using Salsa (omitting the catsup!.!.!.!.not)!.
You'd think a recipe with only '3' ingredients couldn't be
messed up!.!.!.!.wouldn't you!?!?
Well!.!.!.while I was preparing to fix the 'Cola Chicken' recipe
using Salsa!.!.!.!.!.I was also trying to carry on a conversation with my
husband!.!.!.(just proves!.!.!.I can't do two things at once)!.!.!.!.mixed
Salsa & Catsup (before I realized I was supposed to leave out
the catsup) & Cola!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.still turned out really tasty (to me)!.!.!.might
be a little sweeter than some of you like!.
I fixed chicken wings, (using the above recipe)
but!.!.!.I added the spices from a MILD (I don't care for "HOT") Buffalo Wings packet!.!.!.(the kind you get to bake in the oven)!.!.!.!.!.I thought it was really good!.!.!.!.!.(but you/I can't find a 'bad' way to fix chicken)!.
Finally!.!.!.!.!! I fixed the 'SALSA' chicken!.!.!.!.!.!.that's good , too!.
Another (bright)idea!.!.!.!.!.I thought of trying!.!.!.!.!.!.replace the
catsup with a bottle of Shrimp Cocktail Sauce!.!.!.and add a bag of (pop corn) shrimp!.!.!.!.!.!
Fixed the shrimp with cocktail sauce!.!.!.!.!.!.eh!.!.!.wasn't all that
great!.!.!.was OK!.!.!.probably won't be fixing it again!.
also tried beef stew cuts!.!.!.!.!.!.that was pretty good!.!.!.!.!.I can see
myself making this again!.
Served both over rice!.!.!.!.!.think the stew cuts would have been just as
good over noodles!.
How about using the little cocktail wieners/sausages!?
Gonna try some butterfly cut pork chops…!.boneless pork chops…!.!.pork steak!.
How about Vienna Sausages !?!? Ummm!
