Oh Oh, let's do an aperitif before dinner!! Too much alcohol? Nah, we'll just have a tiny glass.
And after dinner...what are those tiny drinks called. Maybe those are aperitifs? We used to do that a lot in Italy. A pre dinner drink (small) and an after dinner drink.

I always thought that aperitifs where before dinner and after dinner they were just called after dinner drinks. Either way, it all sounds good to me.

I got it! Cordials! They're called cordials! Always reminded me of little granny types sipping from those teeny stemmed glasses.
Let's skip the cordials!!

I don't know..I kinda like the idea of a cordial. I'll make one for me and let you know how it is. My big question now isWHERE IS EVERYBODY? I know I will have a great time with just me and dobie but we have some great food, a great place to dine and party and did I mention dobie and I are here? Looks like its you and me dobie for now, let the fun begin.

They're all pissed at me because of what I said about the pope.

Ok, we can start! Are you good at making steaks Pagan? I suck at it, they always turn out gray.
Oh, and should be be dining outside? It's a nice fall day...patio...candles...cloth napkins!!

Its a good thing I didn't comment on the pope, I would have been asked to leave. Anyway, we can start. I can take care or the steaks. What were the sides? Sorry I forget a lot. Lets figure them out and get them cooking. Now I'm hungry, talking about good food. What temp. does everyone like their steak?

I'm not pissed dobie, I'm just tired and run down and starting a depression methinks. Sorry, I'm not fun right now. The world is serious right now and I've been working long hours. I'm done with work for two days and I need an aperitif please.

Good to see you sensitive. Sorry your tired and run down and I hope your not getting depressed. Glad you are done with work for two days. Hang out with us here in the lounge for an aperitif, good food and a few laughs.

Always good to be here, and such delicious food all the time!!! Thanks guys! Anybody got any jokes?

My life?

Sorry, can't think of any jokes right now. Dobie stole my idea so I can't use that, not this time.

Ok, ok, so we dont have any jokes. THAT'S OKAY!!! I brought some ice cream. Remember when Dairy Queen developed the blizzard and people were trying to replicate them with blenders in their own home? Well if you don't remember it or weren't born yet let's have a homemade blizzard-making party. I brought assorted candy and soooooo much ice cream and five blenders so we don't have to wait too long.

A blizzard making party. Now that sounds like fun! My waistline doesn't need one but I'll have one anyway. Thanks for the idea sensitive.

a blizzard making party sounds great. dobie what did you say about the ppe, i looked but i couldn't find anything? could do with a giggle so what gives?

Irish, so nice to see you. Stick around for a bit. I think we have some scallop seviche left and a nice steak with your name on it along with a nice pinot noir to go with it. oh and I almost forgot we have creme brle for dessert.
