Dinner

Okay, let me tell you about the time I tried to make a diamond dinner ring. I saw some pictures online and thought, “Hey, I can do that!” I’m not a professional jeweler or anything, but I’m pretty crafty. First, I gathered all the materials I thought I’d need. I got some gold-colored wire from a craft store, you know, the kind you can bend easily. Then, I found some shiny stones that looked like diamonds. They were just plastic, but they sparkled a lot. I also grabbed my trusty…

Okay, so, I wanted to figure out the seating situation at the Derby Dinner Playhouse. You know, make sure I got a good spot for the show. So, I started by checking out the place. First thing I noticed was that it’s a theater in-the-round. That means the stage is in the middle, and the audience is all around it. They’ve got about 500 seats, so it’s a pretty good size. I found out the seating is in tiers. The theater is in-the-round style. Then I grabbed a seating chart….

Okay, let’s talk about that catered dinner party I threw at my place last weekend. It was a bit of a project, but it turned out pretty great, so I thought I’d share how it all went down. First thing I did was figure out who I was inviting. I mean, you gotta know your crowd, right? This time, I kept it to a small group, just close friends. Made a list, sent out invites—nothing fancy, just a quick message to everyone. I picked a Saturday ’cause, you know, no…

Okay, so, I recently got into this whole cast iron thing, and let me tell you, it’s been a journey!

First off, I started researching, and I read that some folks really love these old Wapak pans with the Indian head on them. Apparently, those are super collectible, especially the #4 skillet. I thought that was pretty…

Okay, so I wanted to try something different for my dinner party last weekend. I decided to go with a black and white theme for the dinner plates. It sounds simple, but it actually took some doing to get it right. First, I started by looking around for inspiration. I flipped through some magazines and scrolled through a bunch of ideas online. I found some pretty cool stuff and jotted down some ideas that I thought would work for my place. Then, I hit the shops. I needed to find…

Okay, so, I’m diving into this whole “rehearsal dinner” thing for my wedding, and let me tell you, the prices are all over the place. I started with a rough estimate, figuring it’d be like a nice dinner out for a bunch of people, right? Wrong! I spent days researching, calling up places, and even visited a few. First off, I started looking online, just to get a ballpark figure. Some websites said it could be anywhere from $2,500 to $5,000. But then I saw some other places saying you…

Okay, so I gotta tell you about this thing I did last weekend. I booked this Annapolis dinner cruise, and let me tell you, it was something else. I’d heard good things about it, you know, seen some nice pics online and all, so I thought, why not? It’s not every day you get to sail around, have a nice meal, and just chill on the water. First off, getting everything sorted was a breeze. I did a bit of looking around for the best deal and ended up going…

Today, I wanted to share a little brain teaser I stumbled upon – a crossword clue that read “after dinner drink.” Sounds simple enough, right?

I typed in the clue, “after dinner drink,” and hit enter. The first few results popped up, suggesting words like “FRAPPE,” which, to be honest, didn’t quite ring a bell as a typical…

Okay, today I want to share some of my experiences about cooking for a retirement residence. It was a pretty big challenge, but I was pumped to give it a shot. Here’s how it all went down. Getting Ready First off, I got in touch with the manager of the retirement home to figure out what kind of food they usually serve and if there were any special dietary needs.
