I have 10 days til she gets back. She's at some journalism institute for newspaper/yearbook teachers who majored in other things in college (she was a music major).

At any rate, I *never* cook the food. Honestly, I don't even really know how. I figure it can't be really hard though. I can generally follow directions. Cooking is just generally applying heat to food, right? How hard can it be?

What are some decently fancy/elaborate meals I could prepare? Assume I know nothing about food preparation... which is true.

ETA: I don't have to be too impressive. She'd be really impressed if I just boiled chicken or something. Expectations are low for this one.
