Well I would have Robert DeNiro over and fix him the finest manacotti dinner he could ever imagine!!! Dessert would be a Chocolate Mint Torte' and a few glasses of fine wine.....Then I would wake up to discover I was only dreaming!!! a-a-hhh DeNiro & Dinner now that'd be way over the top!!! I loved him in the movie Mad Dog and Glory and he would play the song "Just A Giggalo" by:Louis Prima on the Juke Box! Why heck he's just plain good in any role he plays!

Before I went to culinary school, I had 5 basic dishes I could make without a recipe. I was dating then, and my go-to meal was Crabmeat Stuffed Shrimp with Fettuccini Alfredo.
A basic crabmeat stuffing with mayonnaise, mustard, butter sauteed onions, and panko bread crumbs is spooned onto butterflied and inverted shrimp. The shrimp are cleaned to cut through from top vein to bottom vein without cutting entirely through the head-end of the shrimp. With the tail on, you get a "doughnut" looking shrimp. Place it flat on a sheet pan, spoon crabmeat and invert the tail over the stuffing. They look like little soldiers. Bake until pink and bubbly.
Very tasty and a great plate presentation.
It's how I found the love of my life, then she sent me to culinary school for more!
