Dinner

So, the other day, I was setting up the table for a dinner party, and I got to thinking, “What’s the actual size of a normal dinner plate?” I mean, I’ve got a bunch of plates in my cupboard, but are they all the same? It got me wondering. I grabbed a measuring tape and started checking out my plate collection. Most of my dinner plates were in the 10 to 12-inch range. That seemed about right for a regular meal. But then I noticed some were a bit smaller,…

Okay, so it was a Wednesday night, and I was thinking, “Man, I really don’t feel like cooking.” I remembered seeing some posts about Wednesday dinner specials around town, figured it was worth checking out. First things first, I started to browse some local restaurant’s websites to see what kind of deals they were having. I saw a bunch of places offering deals, like “kids eat free” or discounts on certain meals. Not bad, not bad. Then I remembered this place, TIERRA DEL SOL COUNTRY CLUB, that I’d heard good…

So, I was thinkin’ the other day, “I could really go for a nice walleye dinner.” I love a good fish fry, especially on a Friday night. It’s kind of a tradition, you know? But finding a good place that serves walleye, well, that can be a bit of a challenge. First, I jumped online and started lookin’ around. I checked out some restaurant menus in my area. Figured that was a good place to start. Some places had signs up about “fresh fish,” but that doesn’t always mean walleye,…

So, I’ve been wanting to shake things up a bit at formal events, you know? Tired of the same old black suit, black tie routine. That’s when I started thinking, why not try a velvet dinner jacket, and not just any color, but green. First thing I did was look up if it’s even cool to wear one of these to a wedding. Turns out, yeah, it is! It’s a bold move, but totally acceptable. Especially if you want to stand out a bit. I like standing out, so this…

Okay, here is the content about the Valentine’s Day dinner. It was Valentine’s Day 2024, and I decided to do something special for my wife. I thought about taking her out to some fancy restaurant, but then I figured, why not make it more personal? So, I decided to cook a romantic dinner at home. I started the day by clearing out our living room a little, making space to set up a nice dinner table. Then came the fun part – planning the menu. I wanted it to be…

Alright, folks, gather ’round, gather ’round! Today, I’m gonna tell you about my little adventure with this crossword clue: “Ultimate dinner guest?” I saw it in the LA Times, you know, and I thought, “Hey, why not give it a shot?” So, I started digging around the internet, just typing “ultimate dinner guest crossword clue” into the good old search bar. I stumbled upon a bunch of different websites, all claiming to have the answer. One site said there were 30 possible answers, another said 40. Can you believe that?…

Okay, so it’s Thursday night, and the big question is, what’s for dinner? I stared into the fridge for a while, saw some flank steak, shrimp, and a few sad-looking egg roll wrappers. This could go a few ways, but I decided to channel my inner chef and see what magic I could whip up. First things first, the flank steak. I remembered reading somewhere that marinating is the key to a tender flank steak, so I made a quick marinade with what I had – some soy sauce, a…

Okay, so, I gotta talk about this band, The Last Dinner Party. They popped up on my radar back in 2021. They’re from London, and they just blew up seemingly overnight. So, first things first, I started digging around to see what the deal was with this band. I learned they got signed to Island Records super early, before they even dropped their first song, “Nothing Matters.” That track, by the way, it totally killed it in the UK charts, hitting the top 20. Wild, right? Then, I kept following…

Okay, so the other day, I got this idea to do a crossword puzzle, and the theme was “thanks for dinner.” Sounds simple, right? Well, let me tell you, it turned into a whole thing. I started by brainstorming a bunch of phrases related to thanking someone for a meal. I ended up with a list as long as my arm, everything from “I appreciate the grub” to “That hit the spot, chef!” Next, I tried fitting these phrases into a crossword grid. That was a real brain teaser. I…

So, last night was one of those evenings you just know you’re gonna remember. My buddy, Tom, invited me over to his place for dinner. Now, Tom’s not exactly known for his skills in the kitchen. Usually, when we hang out, it’s pizza or some takeout, nothing wrong with that. But this time, he said he wanted to try something different. He wanted to cook. I got to his place around 7 PM, and the first thing that hit me was this amazing smell. It was something savory, with a…
