Weekend Date

Ok, so although Davis does not seem like one of the best places to take someone out to a date, especially when Sacrament is 15 min away. Here are some ideas of things to do or places to go. If your new to Davis, or have been here for a while, you probably know by now that bicycling is a religion here. So for a good start to a date why not go on a bike ride. Davis has a green belt that is over 25 miles long. Along the way there are plenty of places to stop by and just enjoy the scenery. If you go on the north part of the greenbelt you will find some ponds and a pretty nice man-made lake that sets a pretty good atmosphere for a picnic. If you choose to go on the south part of the greenbelt there is of course the arboretum that snakes around the south part of UC Davis. This is from a guy’s point of view and from my infinite wisdom of datingJ. I strongly recommend that for your picnic you keep it simple especially if you don’t really know your date. Probably not the best time to make caviar spread hors d'œuvre. If you like alcohol, I suggest a nice bottle of red wine with some crackers and maybe a light sandwich. Otherwise, instead of wine some homemade lemonade on a nice warm day is just as good. This will set a good mood to just relax and talk. Trust me if you want your date to go well the rest of the day this step is crucial it will show whether there is any compatibility between you. If there is, more than likely after a nice bike ride and plenty of sun you will want to cool down. You can always continue your date with a movie at home. Redbox, or other like machines, let you rent movies for $1. This will save you money for your next date and will open possibilities for doing movie nights on a regular basis. What you choose to do before or after the picnic is totally up to you. Just remember if all else fails on your date just be considerate, a gentleman, and genuinely yourself. And I guaranty, unless she crazy, you will have a good time. That is just one suggestion but the options are endless.
Today Recipe:
I thought I would introduce a fun drink. This drink is called Cucci. This is what you will need and how to make it.
1 1/2 oz Southern Comfort® peach liqueur
3 oz orange juice
4 oz Crystal Light® lemonade mix
1 dash Cointreau® orange liqueur
ice cubes
Add ice to glass, drizzle Southern Comfort over the ice. Add lemonade, orange juice and a dash of Cointreau and mix.
And unless you’re Val (you know who you are), you will love this drink. It is very citrusy and has a good orange taste to it. Next times drink will be dedicated to Jen.
