n’t
Have fun with this. I want something unusual, but not DISGUSTING. And please don’t suggest something you either 1.) wouldn’t eat yourself or 2.) haven’t tried it. I know the mind goes towards stir fry, but we had that tonight for dinner.so no stir fry please. Maybe something romantic. Maybe something I could put candles on the table & stuff.
Any help is appreciated. :)

**Maybe something ethnic. I’m Puerto Rican, Dominican, Sicilian & Japanese & he is Haitian. Neither of us are picky.
