Here's the last one who dated you Awwwww, you went to our web site.
----what was it 15 years ago you had your last chicken wing date?
Something like that. Now I just hang around the soup kitchen on minestrone night. Some of those gals don't keep too tight a grip on their crackers.

OMG, 50 cents for a brewski? Are you sure it's actually beer? Could be doctored up kool-aid.

I don't know if you two are joking or bashing each other, but this does work both ways. I took a date to an upmarket restaurant in downtown Portland,OR, she ordered the second most expensive item on the menu, then we went to Les Misreables (my treat, of course).
When she emailed me to ask me out on a second date as her guest she suggested the Movie Bar, where you can drink 1$ beers while you watch 2$ out-of-circulation movies.
So it's not a one way street.

Hmm, that's true. Like.. books? Manga? Durable pans? (Pots and pans these days are horrid. We have some pans close to/over a decade old that are in better condition than some of the things bought withing the past 3 or 4 years.) Blankets? Pillows? Uhhhmmm :D
But $1000 for books and manga would put me over the moon! Little bookworm that I am, lol!

I have better suggestions on what a guy could spend $1000 on for me.....;) Hmmmmmmm....(he said flashing a devilish grin)
With a $1000 bill I could buy an elegant dinner for two...
A suite with jacuzzi (with complimentary champagen and chocolate covered strawberries)...
And have enough left over for a case of whipped cream! (he said flashing another devilish grin)

Oh all right, boy is this thing yellow. I cut it out of an Old Women's Day mag I think. It's the kind that gets chewy. Now a caution, if you cook it too hot, too fast, it curdles a little, and you can't cook it too slow. A heavy old aluminum saucepan like Club alum or similar is best, about 2-quart. Here we go.
THICK HOT FUDGE SAUCE
The old-fashioned kind that thickens when spooned on ice cream.
4 tablespoons butter (use real) 4 squares (4 ounces) unsweetened chocolate 2/3 cup boiling water 2 cups sugar 1/4 cup light corn syrup 1/4 teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons vanilla
Melt butter in heavy 3-quart (I think I always got along with 2-quart but it bubbles up) saucepan over low heat. Add chocolate and let melt. Stir in water, sugar, corn syrup and salt. Bring to boil over medium heat and cook WITHOUT stirring until sauce is thickened, dark, and glossy, about 8 minutes (I set timer). Stir in vanilla.
Serve hot (let cool a little or it melts too much) over ice cream. Makes about 2 cups. NOTE: Store any leftover covered in refrigerator. Reheat over very low heat (can use small pan). If sauce should become grainy, stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons hot water.
If anyone has a better one, I'm open, but it's got to be the bitter chocolate and prefer not to use cocoa for that.
There used to be a national chain of restaurants that served something similar, can't remember the name of them. I miss Baskin Robbins. We don't have any around here any more.
