This wasn't a date but I have a fond memory of a day out that was fantastic fun. I was probably four or five years old and my mom had very little money but we enjoyed what we had. I was born an animal lover so she took me to a fair where the farmers' were exhibiting their animals. Great excitement for a kid. We couldn't afford to buy the food they sold at the fair so she had packed us some travel food in the car. I remember celery with peanut butter and kool aid in a thermos. I am sure there was more food but to me the celery and kool aid was the best lunch at the fair! It was culinary exquisite for a child.

As an adult I remember fondly my second date with a man I had met on a blind date. He invited me to his house and gave me a single rose when I arrived. He cooked Cornish hens which are about 2/$5 and stuffed them with rice. We finished a cheap bottle of red wine while listening to his vinyl records on the turntable. That was one of the most romantic dates of my life.
