What exactly are you looking for? I worked most of my way through college as a caterer so I know a few recipes.

Just go get some chinese food and pretend like you made it, take it out of its containers and put it on plates.

"Wow! How did you get the paper into the fortune cookie?

... why does it say 'A thrilling time is in your immediate future'".

The fortune cookies would have to get thrown out, can't leave any evidence laying around.

Are you planning on cooking a full course dinner? How unusual? When someone mentions unusual I think of something really bizarre.

Naughty naughty Knight, ! However it does work sometimes! I was thinking of the movie "Always" where she had picked up chicken dinners, came home, through flour all over the kitchen, like she had been cooking all day.

Like Matt said, how are you going to get the papers in the fortune cookies? One can't have a Chinese dinner without fortune cookies.

For recipies it might need the assistance of wayfarer07.

but I'm sure for recipes the rest of us will cope

If you told us what your usual is, then we could better help you with something unusual!

Ok then, I mean some interesting salad recipies, something for desert, and one more thing I didn't mention- I'm a vegetarian.
And we don't have chinese restaurants here...

I was going to submit a Minestrone Soup recipe which has no meat, but requires 4 cups of beef or chicken broth. The salad recipes I have wouldn't be considered the main entree, the best I can submit is a dessert recipe. Perhaps Matt has some meatless salad recipes.

Here's a dessert recipe.......

Hope you enjoy this recipe

Mexican Chicken and Tomatillo Stew



Ingredients

• Crispy Tortilla Strips:
• 3 (12 inch) flour tortillas
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

• 2 fully ripened Avocados from Mexico, halved, pitted and diced

Hi there, guys!
Thanks a lot for your response, I'll try the recipies you've offered, I'm sure it must be delicious!!!!!

I'm a huge fan of cooking seafood fra diavlo style like shrimp, lobster or even calamari. You have to be careful not to overdo the bam factor or the spicyness will overshadow the food.

What may be unusual for you is normal for a some. Like uhhh.... how about sea urchin? That is a very yummy aphrodisiac.

Japanese cuisine is a yummy and USUAL choice for me..... but not necessarily for others
