Well I don't know how to cook so I'm trying to make dinner.

I'm doing a simple soup for starters. For dinner dinner I'm making spaghetti with marinara sauce and spicy Italian meatballs (+ mushrooms, peppers, and onion, basil, parsley, and parmesan). I'm making toasted garlic bread to go with the pasta. I bought a semi-sweet red wine but I don't know anything about wine so idk lol. And for dessert i bought chocolate and a bunch of ingredients (salty, sweet, sour, and spicy) so we can make our own chocolate bars.

then after, or possibly during, we'll be playing Luigi's Mansion 3 and Mario Galaxy.

Anything how are you guys? ama or tell me anything I guess.

And if you give a damn, take me baby, or leave me.

The menu sounds good to me. It still gives us a classy and sophisticated vibe, while still being simple enough for someone who doesn't really know how to cook to make. I don't know much about wine either, but from my understanding Cabs and Merlots go well with red sauce pasta dishes.

Yeah! The recipe I'm using looks simple enough. The harder part will be making chocolate, I think, but even that is just melt-mix-freeze. The bottle I bought says it pairs well with fruit and spicy dishes, and we're eating spicy meatballs and some of the chocolate ingredients are fruit, so I thought it might be okay.

My gf got me back into games. she likes to play sims and open-world games and I like platformers and rpgs, but we've had a lot of fun playing through 3D All Stars, Katamari Damacy, Mario Kart, and minecraft. We only own a switch (and pc laptops) do our options are limited.

my SO and I were definitely a "thing" for a while before our "anniversary". I was already spending a few nights a week at her place by that time, I think. Oct 17 is just the day one of us possibly asked if we were a couple, and the other said yes. So that's the day we use.

I wish my spouse would play games with me, and they are a gamer! They could be having all the fun in the world and they still have dropped every activity we do together.

I basically sit here playing games solo while interjecting commentary into conversation and try to have conversations.

3 years is probably not enough especially if the people in the relationship are not living together.

Same. Though bf instead of spouse. Though, I think he does play a little. He does have two sons that are gamers, though...

If you're not tempering it (presuming you're using actual chocolate and not compound chocolate that doesn't require tempering), you're going to end up with a subpar product. Most notably, you'll likely see some pale blotches appearing on the surface fairly soon after it's cooled. Don't worry about those, they're completely harmless (it's called "blooming," and is a consequence of fat and sugar crystals migrating to the surface because it's un-/poorly tempered) and the chocolate's still totally edible, it just won't be quite as nice as a commercial chocolate bar.
