Shoshanna
I'm planning to make my parents dinner for their anniversary next week, and I was wondering what would be a good dessert for a Japanese dinner. I might make sushi, but I'm not entirely sure what I'll make. I was just wondering what would be a great and delicious dessert for a Japanese dinner.
Answer
I think it's sweet that you're making dinner for your parents for their anniversary, Shoshanna! If only I had the patience to make my dad dinner for occasions such as this, but I can't cook for crap. I suppose I could find easy recipes like the ones I searched for you. I found a few of them, which are listed below, and the link where I found them, which has more recipes, is in the Sources box, just to get you more variety.

What's an easy recipe that makes a romantic dinner?
Debby W
I want to make a romantic dinner for my boyfriend and I need some easy recipes that are yummy and ideas for how to make the night romantic. Please help!
Answer
Always think light and inexpensive...the wine is always your main focus in a romantic dinner. Grape based is always the way to go for one the flavor and two it encourages drinking more which we all know speeds the heart up and leads to a wild night making love.
I would suggest something fairly easy
Shopping List
Olive oil if nones at home
Xpress Rice not sure what the brand is at your local store but these come in a variety of flavors. I know of Betty Crocker and Thai Express Chicken Helper..once you reach this part of grocery store you'll see bunch of them look for Mexican or Wild Rice or Jambalaya those are my favorite but the options is all yours to choose pick one based on allergy info or personal taste some of them will contain cheese or beans. I suggest taking an extra box just in case you mess up cooking one.
Next head to the freezer and find preseasoned boneless chicken breasts get about 2 pieces and oh yeah asparagus and thyme.
Dont forget the chocolate mousse cake and the Barry White cd or luther vandross please
Also if you dont have any good china glassware and silverware at home like i do. Gets a pair especially the wine glass.
Head Home
First Place both wine glass empty in the freezer and the wine in the fridge to chill.
Start with the instructions on the box for the rice..usually it will have you start off with a pan of boiling water. Then add rice stir a few and lower heat to its lowest setting and leave for a few mins. Please note on rice use your best judgement call if you open the rice pot too much will ruin it it should take bewteen 10 - 15 mins based on what is said in the instructions if you have a see thru pyrex to cook the rice that'll be great.
Start up another flame a nice saute pan will do great put about 1/4 cup olive oil and cook the asparagus on high heat til crispy brown. You are free to take one out and nibble at it to see if its ready.
Dont forget the rice!!!
Take out cooked asparagus set aside
Get the two pieces of chicken and insert to fry on high heat about 12 mins on each side. Keep rotating chicken until cooked.
Once cooked re insert asparagus and shake the pot cuz we wont be able to flip it like them chefs on tv the seasons off the chicken will blend with the asparagus once blended. Get a knife and scrape the fresh leaves off the thyme and simmer with a cover on low heat this will seal flavor and make you hungry.
Now we wait for mr rice.
The hardest thing about a romantic dinner is timing you dont want it too hot when hes home or too cold. Thats why i suggested the low flames slow cooking that will keep it hot and extend the time til he reaches home. This recipe will invest you about half hour or less..
DONT FORGET TURN OFF THE PHONES.
Have the wine glass ready LUTHER OR BARRY should be sounding out in the house at a low enough volume not to disturb but enhance the mood and the wine preferably wrapped in a new linen on the table when hes in the drive way. Have the china plates by the stove and ask him to call about 5 mins away from the house. Candles should already be lit andsilverware wrapped you should already be in something comfortable and smelling good. Have his robe hanging by the door amd as soon as he steps in strip him of his clothes and put his robe on. And lead him to the table i guarantee he will take over...and have the chocalate mousse sliced and already in the bedroom after the meal say "its time for dessert and pull him to the bedroom feed him tease him and you can take it from there.
