Recession proof dates

Do not take the recession as an excuse to stay in and do nothing. Here are a few recession proof dates you and your honey can do with an empty wallet!

Get on thin ice. Depending on the weather, head to an indoor or outdoor ice-skating rink — it's the perfect excuse to hold hands, "accidentally" fall on top of each other, and grab a cup of hot chocolate and cozy up to each other to keep warm.

Skip the pricey wine bar and grab a few beers at your local dive bar. Make sure you pick a place with a pool table or dartboard set up, and challenge him to a few games. Loser owes the winner a song on the jukebox.

He may hate to shop, but he'll end up thanking you if you drag him to a flea market. There's something for everyone and plenty of things you never knew existed — you might even discover he has a hobby or weird collection you didn't know about!

Settle in for a night of pampering: No pricey spa required. Use your empty wallets as an excuse to stay in — and up — all night. Run a bubble bath and then treat each other to full-body massages. Sleep in the next day.

Get an adrenaline rush at the roller-skating rink. As long as you don't mind being the oldest people there who aren't chaperoning their children, it's a great way to have fun and let loose with each other. Top it off with a bowl of ice cream when you get home.

Play house: Dress up in your most serious grownup outfit and leave your tiny apartment to visit some open houses. Spend the day arguing over where you would put the love seat, discussing the difference between eggshell and ecru paint, and giggling over strangers' hideous decorating choices.

Spice up your movie-night routine by finding a drive-in movie theater. Stop at the supermarket on your way to load up on your favorite snacks, and bring blankets and pillows to make the car extra cozy. Let him pick the movie — you'll get points for being easygoing, even though you know you'll probably miss most of the movie.

Show him your rugged side and build something together. Ask him to help you build something like a coffee table or dresser for your place — he'll be psyched that you asked him, just as long as you can bite your tongue when the table he puts together falls apart the moment you set your cup of coffee down.

Bowl him over at the bowling alley. Psych him out by reminding him of how many gross people wore his shoes before him, and don't forget to program his sugary-sweet nickname ("Muffin Face") onto the computerized scoreboard instead of his real name.

Ask him about his fantasy cars and he'll probably talk your ear off. Head over to a local car dealership and test-drive the most expensive car they'll let you take out of the parking lot. Take turns at the wheel but resist the urge to nitpick each other's driving skills.

Pisco Sour

We think it is unfair not to share Pisco Sour with you. For many ages this national drink of Peru has been enjoyed in Latin countries, but if you want a variation on your mojito or pina colada you should definately try this delicous cocktail. Not as famous in Europe yet, but at least as good...

For 2 Pisco Sours you need:

• 1 cup of Pisco
• The juice of 6 lemons (use the green lemons)
• 2-3 spoons of sugar
• 10 ice cubes
• egg white of 1 egg
• cinamon

Put the pisco in a blender, add 20 ml of lemon juice and the sugar. Add the ice cubes and blend it to a nice mix until the ice is crushed. Now take the egg and separate the eggwhite. Add this to the mix in the blender and blend for another 20 seconds until you get a big foam layer. Now put the Pisco Sours into small glasses and finish with a little bit of cinamon on top. Salud!

Expensive engagements

Often these larger than life personalities get a larger than life engagement ring:

Paris Hilton & Paris Latsis

Paris Hilton’s short-lived engagement was highlighted by the 24-carat emerald cut diamond ring. Latsis thought that when Hilton said "yes," she'd actually marry him and they'd stay together forever and ever. Well, that never happened, they didn't even make it to the planning stages of their wedding. But, thanks to the identically named duo, we had the privilege of being exposed to one of the most amazing rings of our time. The massive white diamond ring was picked out by Hilton herself, designed by a private jeweler and rumored to be at least 23-carats total weight. That's not all, aside from her engagement ring, Hilton also received a 21-carat canary diamond as an "I love you" ring. Oh, the perks of being engaged to a Greek shipping heir.


Anna Kournikova & Enrique Iglesias
Although neither an engagement nor marriage can be confirmed from either, the massive pink stone the Russian tennis star is sporting is worth mentioning. The ring is rumored to be an 11-carat natural pink pear shape diamond.



Milania & Donald Trump
The new Mrs. Trump wears a 12-carat classic emerald cut diamond, with channel set diamonds on each side. Although the ring was rumored to be around $2 million, it's speculated to be valued at a low $480,000. But, when you get married as often as The Donald, you have to cut costs somewhere.



Jennifer Lopez & Ben Affleck
Despite the eventual cancellation, Jennifer Lopez’s finger sparkled with a 6-carat radiant shaped pink diamond while she was engaged to Ben Affleck, a stone reported to cost more than $3 million.



- Elizabeth Taylor, when engaged to her third husband, Michael Todd, wore a nearly 30carat emerald cut diamond.
- Lady Diana Spencer wore an 18-carat deep blue oval sapphire circled by fourteen diamonds when she promised to become Princess Diana.
- Catherine Zeta-Jones’ nuptial promise to Michael Douglas was sealed with a 10-carat antique horizontal set marquise diamond.
