Dinner at my place

So I obviously love a good party. Any kind really. I even get jazzed up for a good work potluck.

Like real jazzed up.

I also happen to be in love with dinner parties. Particularly hosting them.

I personally think the dinner party is totally underrated. They are amazing, and an excellent way to have some fun on a week night without feeling like total death the next morning.

I attended/hosted two this week.

The first was Monday when I met a group of several friends at a local pub for wing night. I had a Miller Lite for dinner and it was to die for. I guess this isn't really a dinner party per se...more like going to the bar on a Monday night, but whatever.

Going out to dindin with a group of good friends is about as fun as it gets. Unless all your friends are real wasted and can't figure out how to split a tab and make you do the math, I hate math.

Perhaps even better than a dinner out on the town is having the ones you love over for what I like to call Family Dinner Night. My family lives a zillion miles away these days so I make all my friends call themselves my family. They like it because I feed them.

I love having my friends over for a good meal and some drinks, I love it so much. It is fun trying out new recipes and if you are broke or lazy make spaghetti. You can  literally feed about 38 people for seven dollars so you can't beat it.

Wednesday night I made a big anti pasta salad and brushetta. It was a hit and the weather was gorgeous so we were able to eat outside...always a plus.

I really need a bigger place though because I want to start giving my little dinners a theme. I am itching to have a Mad Men theme dinner...I am pretty sure my friends will stop coming when I start adding themes, but we shall see.

We may or may not have busted out into this song at this weeks family dinner.
