i grew up with this nightly nightmare. awkwardly sitting around a casserole trying to decide what the best part of your day was. what part shows most accurately how much you accomplished. other than that, there was usually silence until i was finished and had to clear out the dishwasher.
they're more exciting now that i can choose my family.
creating a meal with your friends always feels like a huge accomplishment. our generation that prides itself on knowing where every mcdonald's is within 10 miles and who have delivery services saved in our cell phones - there's a sense of tradition and maturity in cooking a whole meal. the immense feeling of community that comes from everyone working to create a main dish and two sides is... immense.
what's even better, unlike traditional family dinners, we now get to drink copious amounts of booze. and watch dvr'd gossip girl. i mean, we're still only 20-somethings. there's no need to pull the 'what's the best thing that happened to you today?' card. chances are, this is the best thing that's happened.
