This is what the weather looks like where I live right now, and this is good compared to what it was like down in the country where we live. It was Girls Night tonight, but got pushed to Girls Afternoon due to the impending weather. I get together with my friends C and M, whom I used to work with at the Bank. We get together not as often as we would like, but usually every other month or so. We all make food then sit and eat said food and talk about what is new in each of our lives. Today, our food was awesome like always! C made turkey meatballs with a glaze of Cocktail sauce and grape jelly and some mustard and her famous guac, M brought veggies and dip and a pan of chocolate chip cookie bars and I made popcorn salad and made a loaf of cheesy bread (which I will share this upcoming week). I also brought a bottle of Rose Regale for them to try-it was a 10 on everyones list.
Last night Dude and I were going to have date night and decided to ask Drama Queen to come since we were going out for Prime Rib-and she hadn't had any for a long, long time. We went to Wiederholt's in Miesville, MN. It is an old fashioned supper club that has been owned by the same family for maybe 60 years. It is old school. Dark paneling, red curtains and carpeting, old fashioned chandeliers with the orange bulbs. They serve you a tray of crudities with dip and ice sprinkled over the veggies to keep cold, an assortment of crackers and fresh buns, a stick of REAL butter, salads and your main course. It is always busy on the weekends, so a nice man offered DQ and me his chairs and we all enjoyed a cocktail while we waited-DQ had a Shirley Temple only (she was our sober cab-I must say it is quite handy!) We all ordered the Prime Rib-Dude and I had the 24 ounce cut will Boo had the 16 ounce. We knew we would have enough to bring home and enjoy this evening. I made some baked potatoes, warmed the meat in au jus and reheated the remaining cheesy bread from this afternoon. It was delightful. Just enough for a small supper after watching an awesome Daytona 500. We are not big sports buffs in our house, but we love us some racing! We have a local track only 16 miles from our house, so we like to get to at least one race each year.

Those cocktails make the dinner bill climb don't they? Now I am totally craving prime rib.
I'm raising my hand for winter to be over! I totally sympathize with you...where is Spring already! I'm glad you went out and spoiled yourself and had a good time, that is always so fun and much needed! The old dinner clubs are always the best!
$114 dinner bill? Ouch! That is why I never order drinks at dinner. I am too cheap! :)
Actually for 6 cocktails and DQ's Shirley Temple, it was only $34 bucks-it just sounds better to blame the booze :)
Another hand raised for winter to be over! We had 9" on Sunday night, and another storm passed 40 miles south of us last night. For once I got lucky!
Your prime rib dinner sounds terrific. I'd love to have one now, too.
Yikes, that is serious winter you've got there! HOpe you're hanging in there! Your evening with the girls sounds fun as does your date night (though if a kid comes along, it's not date night!) :)
yeah, the booze can really bump up the bill! but it sounds like money well-spent. :)
But that's the price for dinner for 2 nights, right??? Just trying to make you feel better. :-)
Hopet he icky snows goes away soon. I, on the other hand, am complaining about the heat! I can only imagine what the Summer will bring.
yeah...i totally agreed with Monica because in this $114 there should be at least 2dinner nights, but there is just 1dinner....how is this gone worst thing in it.
