Places to go..

[PerletPhp]

Ok, here is a topic where all you need to do is post your favorite places to go with your loved one. Also PLEASE put down advice on what places to go. I ask this b/c I was wondering besides resteraunts (spelled wrong, tooo tired :P), malls, and the movies I don't know where else to go. So could you give me some ideas? Also, put down your most romantic place that you like to go to.

Merci,
PerlETPhp

My favourite is beaches and movies. The most important thing is to do her favourite hobbies with her. If she likes singing, you two can go to Karaoke lounge together!

An arboretum is a place full of rare and beautiful trees, shrubs, and flowers. You can see basically roses, bulbed plants, creeping vines, camelias, foxgloves, passionflowers, orchids, rhododendrons and azaleas, as well as about any other kind of tree there (read jasmine, lilac, cypresses, cedar, oak, fir, spruce, etc.)....it's a very peaceful place, usually inhabited by birds, and very few people come usually.

As for mushroomhunting, I won't get too personal. But let's put it this way. I go to the forest every once in a while and pick about 30 or more delicious mushrooms, take them home, and cook and eat them. I know how to find the cep, the boletus, the chantarelle, the blewit, the hedgehog mushroom, the beefsteak fungus, and the morel. They are SO delicious, and it's such a joy to find these rarities peeking at you from under the leaves of the forest floor. The only great elusive ones remain the truffles, but alas, I don't live in Savoy.

i dont like mushrooms.....

[CarinaZorra7426]

P... I wouldn't recommend mushroomhunting if you're not familiar with the various types of mushrooms - it's waaaay too easy to pick a poisonous one or one that will cause serious damage to your liver (think liver transplant) But other than that I think K has some good ideas. What does he/she like to do?

[Karbonopsinos]

Yes, I'm sorry, I forgot to send out a big disclaimer.

If you don't know anything about mushroom hunting, then DON'T DO IT! You could die.

It is an ancient Slavic tradition to pick wild mushrooms....Poles, Czechs, Slovaks, Russians, etc. do it.....and I was raised knowing what was safe and what wasn't.

Wild mushrooms are often much tastier than the store bought and have all sorts of smells and shapes and colors. The chantarelle, for instance, smells like apricot and is a fresh yellow. The anise mushroom smells like anise and is blue, etc.

However, they can easily be confused with poisonous mushrooms. The fly agaric causes hallucinations and vomiting. The death cap, as it implies, can kill several people. The yellow stainer is very dangerous as well, as is the panther cap, the deadly gallerina, the red-staining inocybe, etc.

Some symptoms of these mushrooms are nasty and deceptive. For instance the death cap gives fevers and palpitations at first, and then there is a letup it and it seems you are healthy, but you die a few days later of horrible liver damage. The deadly gallerina, for instance, causes leukemia-like symptoms, etc.

Well, enough for your primer on mushrooms, unless your parents have raised you to know what is what or you have a good guide don't do it. It's really fun though. ;)

so IF i knew how to pick the right mushrooms (which i don't) what are you suggesting i would do?? :D

keep posting ideas, i know there are a few more special places to go out there!

[PerletPhp]

well, also, what is a good place for a first date??


also for food categories, what type of food is everyone's favorite, kinda lame i know, but i was just wondering...

[quipnot]

Hey, how about the Zoo? Or the beach, nature trail, try a park watch the kids play ball?

[KyleK]

If you live (or live close) to a mountainus area, why not go on a hike?

Its very quiet, the scenery is beuatiful, and it is mostly private.

[quipnot]

Now I'm hungry...... ok, fondue? Yup, can be very intimate. I suppose you need to be near a city to find a Fondue restaurant. Also, a Japanese steak house, where they cook at your table. Stay away from sloppy foods on a first date, like spaghetti or ribs.
Time for early lunch.........cya

[PerletPhp]

ok fondue = yes
sloppy = no

i'll remember that :D

zoo/hiking added to list ^_^
