Wednesday Night Dinner

I don't know exactly how the tradition started, but I believe it was because my friend Frannie and I were both unemployed, well I was unemployed and she was in school, so I'll just say unemployed.  We would meet up at either my apartment or her's on Wednesday Nights and cook dinner, drink some wine, play some Wii or just gossip, since we are really good at that!  Usually I cooked, no matter what apartment we were at that week.  Eventually, more friends got wind of our weekly ritual and alas...Wednesday Night Dinner was formed!  For such a creative group, we ended up with quite a literal name for it, but it rings so sweet in all our ears, when we realize it is Wednesday and therefore have the chance to get together, eat some food, drink copious amounts of wine, and talk and talk and talk!   The atmosphere of dinner is different each week, it can range from 3, 4, 10 people, but the basic concept is the same...I cook dinner and my friends eat it all!  I use this dinner and my friends as guinea pigs for new recipes I want to try, or to test out a new cooking method.

Although, this dinner started out as a place to eat, it has turned into so much more.  So many ideas, to help start my Kinda Famous Food business have come from this table.  My confidence in my cooking ability and style have been honed at this dinner and friendships have been strengthened every week.  This blog is also going to be used to talk about these dinners, post shopping tips, recipes, cooking mistakes, photos, and a little about each dinner and sometimes the people at the dinner.  This dinner has been going strong for over a year, check back here every Thursday to read about Wednesday's Dinner.
