To start out, Ephraim noted that I had received a lot of flowers lately so he brought me something unique, a bamboo plant!  They bring good luck. 🙂  I love thoughtful gestures like that!  We went over to his place and made some delicious Mexican food together.  He had lived in Mexico for two years so it was pretty legit.  We made tostadas, and quesadillas, and salsa, and had Jumex nectar drinks. For desert we had fresh sliced pineapple with Tajín seasoning on it which is chile peppers, lime and salt.  It was good!

He had all the parts of the recipe memorized, he makes this meal a lot!

Ephraim comes from a big family and has a lot of younger siblings who come over to eat his great cooking; note the chalk door in the background where all sorts of drawings have been created by siblings and others.  Such a cool big brother!

We talked about how nice it is to do simple dates where you talk to and get to know each other, devoid of pressure and undue stress.  Maybe this idea of low stress dating will catch on? I hope so. 🙂

Some great things to know about Ephraim.  He likes to run and be in the outdoors.  He likes to cook and is especially good at Mexican cuisine.  He enjoys working and doing things.  He likes coming up with unique ideas.  He’s easy and good to talk to.  Thanks for the fun date, Ephraim!
