Become a Connoisseur on your next date. It's easier than you may think!
Here's how:
1. You and your mate choose a subject you want to explore.
2. Determine your budget and try as many as you can.
3. Now compare.
4. Choose your favorite.
Disclaimer: This may not be the exact rules on how to be "THE expert" on a subject, but you will your own expert and at the end of that day that's what matters.
For example:
- I love chili dogs, so one evening Ramy & I went to the grocery store and bought every kind of store made chili they had to offer. We probably spent a total of $20 between hot dogs, buns, and 7 different chili cans. When we got home, we took out all the pots we had & made each can of chili (remembering which can belonged to which pot). Then we each took a tsp and tried each pot of chili. All you need is a bite to really decipher what you like...(it wasn't like we ate 7 cans of chili between the two of us) We took a vote and now forever know how to make our favorite (easy grocery store bought) chili dog. This would make a great no babysitter date. Just plan ahead, decide what you want to find the best of, get your ingredients, put the kids to bed and explore in the kitchen.
- For a more extravagant date, you could rent a limo (& possibly make this a double or group date) and go try margaritas at different restaurants across town. Take a vote and choose a winner. This is one I have always wanted to do.
- The picture above, is from late last year, when Ramy & I had the good fortune to travel through Australia. Every time we go to a new city, we seek out the very best espresso. We ask people around town what they recommend, do our research online, & try out the places we pass by. Ultimately, we find our favorite place everywhere we go...and consider ourselves (esp Ramy) Espresso Connoisseurs.
- Other things to explore: Find the best pizza, root beer, hamburger, ice cream....your city has to offer.
