...There's no dinner next Tuesday!
Every Tuesday night my parents host dinner at their house. It is somewhat of an open house, no invitation needed, where everyone is invited. You do not even need to be one of my parent's children to come. Everyone just knows that Tuesday nights is dinner at their house. Sometimes there are 20 people, sometimes there are 5 - either way, it is always great.
It has been a tradition that started a few years ago after my father (semi-) retired and decided to take up cooking as a hobby. We are not talking peanut butter and jelly every week either, although it would be fine if we had that too. My dad, and occasionally my mom, makes everything from the appetizers to the salad to the entree and even the dessert!! What makes it even better when someone has a birthday closest to Tuesday they get to choose what they want for dinner AND dessert!! With our family it is unusual that we are not celebrating someone's birthday.
So, just knowing that every Tuesday night you will get an amazing home cooked meal and great company makes it very hard to hear "There is not dinner next Tuesday."
It is a wonderful tradition that will go on for years to come!!
Thanks Mom and Dad!!!
