Hamburger-stuffed bell peppers served on a bed of wild rice. What am I needing to round out the plate?

Go!

- nice. -- nm - loosilu Nov 4, 16:36
- I've got a really soft shiraz in mind, though I do enjoy pinot noir so might hit the wine store on the way home tomorrow. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 4, 16:34 19
  - You might be able to pull off two wines. Are you have a salad? -- nm - mara Nov 4, 16:35 18
    - ooh, a nice light soup to start off might be nice. and dessert... hmm. something decadant and chocolate. flourless cake maybe? -- nm - kare Nov 4, 16:37 17
      - *ding*! I think I have the perfect idea. A bowl of tomato bisque and then the peppers on the rice. - Name Withheld By Request Nov 4, 16:39 16

        it's nice, but he's serving them in courses, sounds like -- nm - kare Nov 4, 16:43 2
        
        I was thinking that originally, however would be easier to do it together. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 4, 16:46
        
        How about a nice 3-bean salad? That's a good mix of colors. -- nm - mrfuzzy Nov 4, 16:45
        
        Nope. Orange and Yellow peppers, but the soup is red-dy orange-y, so maybe this is valid.... - Name Withheld By Request Nov 4, 16:42 6
        
        how about another kind of bisque ... corn? -- nm - loosilu Nov 4, 16:43

        Works for me. Thanks. (looking it over, I might save for another night, but will definitely try it). -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 4, 16:51 1
        
        probably would be a little weird with what you've got goin' on. - kare Nov 4, 16:52
- I like this, too. It might have a more complementary taste than the asparagus. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 4, 16:33
What color are the bell peppers? If green, then go with something red. If red, go with something green. -- nm - Mop Nov 4, 16:31
bell peppers count as a serving of veg, so your good to go, got dessert? -- nm - zeitgeist, at least my ticket is straight Nov 4, 16:31
Refried beans and cheese. - musubi voted Nov 4, 16:30 1
- Nothing says romance like *pfft& -- nm - Beryllium Nov 4, 16:32
asparagus and some sort of demiglace -- nm - Beryllium Nov 4, 16:29 15
- If the bell pepper is a green vegetable, he needs a different color. -- nm - mara Nov 4, 16:30 14
  - Yellow and orange are the ones I'm running with. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 4, 16:31 1
    - in that case, something green on the side. -- nm - loosilu Nov 4, 16:31
  - well, yes. When people say bell peppers, I assume they mean red. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 4, 16:30 10
    - green is most common! it's cheapest. -- nm - loosilu Nov 4, 16:31 9
      - But not as sweet. When I'm stuffing them, I go bright colours. (Plus they look oh so pretty and impress the company on hand.) -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 4, 16:32 3

        Very smart. You don't need TT. -- nm - mara Nov 4, 16:33 1
        
        I'm pretty good with my entrees, but always stink at the sides b/c I would never make sides for myself. Plus... - Name Withheld By Request Nov 4, 16:37
      - but it's called green pepper, not bell pepper. :) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 4, 16:32 4
        
        ? not in my supermarket. -- nm - loosilu Nov 4, 16:33 2
        
        Nor in mine, though I've called them "green" and "bell", but bell is assumed to be green unless noted otherwise -- nm - TWuG Nov 4, 16:35
        
        well, it is in mine. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 4, 16:33
        
        Ah, you may be right. -- nm - mara Nov 4, 16:32
  - White asparagus -- nm - TWuG Nov 4, 16:30
