“With all the exuberance of an inquisitive child, they never lose their enthusiasm for life. Those born under this sign are also quick-witted and gregarious. They make lively dinner companions with their ability to discuss new ideas and concepts. The Aries host or hostess will create an exotic meal with a blend of subtle spicy tastes. They will bring together an eclectic group of guests to activate their creative genius.”

This man made gorgeous grilled chicken, creamy parm mashed potatoes, and for desert? Oh god. The most tongue tingling looking pudding with vanilla chips and I can’t even go on. Of course I was running on the treadmill while watching didn’t help, but anyways..
