I ain’t no fancy chef or nothin’, but I know how to put a good meal on the table, the kind that fills your belly and makes you feel all warm inside. First off, you gotta get yourself a turkey. Don’t go gettin’ one of them tiny little birds, unless you’re only feedin’ a couple of folks. Get a good-sized one, big enough to feed everyone and have some leftovers. You know, for makin’ sandwiches…

Alright, so you’re tellin’ me you gotta go to some fancy dinner before the big weddin’, huh? They call it a rehearsal dinner. Sounds like a lot of fuss to me, but hey, what do I know? I reckon you wanna look nice, though. Not too nice, mind you, you don’t wanna outshine the bride, that ain’t right. So, they say these cocktail dresses are the thing to wear. Cocktail dress… sounds like somethin’ you’d spill a drink on. Anyway, these dresses, they ain’t supposed to be too long, ya…

Well, they say it’s on Highway 140 and 7th Street. That’s in Mariposa, zip code 95338. Don’t ask me what that means, just numbers the postman uses, I reckon. You can find it, Mariposa ain’t that big.

First off, you gotta get yourself some stuff for the dough. Think flour, yeah, that white powdery stuff. Then you need some yeast, the stuff that makes it all puffy.

First off, you gotta get that yeast goin’. That’s the stuff that makes ‘em all puffy. You dump it in some warm milk, not too hot, not too cold, just right, like you testin’ it for a baby’s bottle. Add a bit of sugar too, yeast likes sweet stuff, just like me! Then you…

Now, what in the tarnation is a “bottomless dinner” anyway? Well, from what I gather, it’s like this: you pay a set price, and then you can eat and eat and eat ’til you bust a gut. And drink, too!
