The First Cooking for Zo

I invited Zo to go on a walk by the river for our first date for two reasons:1. During the winter months the Truckee river can be absolutely stunning.and2. My Town home was right next to the river.I scheduled our walk right around lunch time in the hope she'd be hungry and I'd be able to invite her in for lunch. I'd planned out what was suppose to be a vegetarian friendly, imported mushroom white cheese sauce over pasta that would impress her.We walked and I talked getting more and more jittery as we closed in on my place.
