When a meal isn't a meal...

... When you are eating with Don and Darlene. Something about a meal over there that tends to stray from the whole "I am hungry, let's eat something" routine. An evening at Don's is not dinner and conversation, it is more like a culinary marathon. The man amazes me with his kitchen talents. Don and Darlene are throwing Tonya and I an "Engagement Dinner extravaganza" this weekend and it should be an amazing event. I have attended a few of Don's dinners, and to sum it up in a few words to those of you whom haven't attended, it is absolutely amazing. It usually involves at least 4 courses interjected with appropriate drinks between and during the meal. I would say i would leave there drunk every night, but I was usually so full from the meal that I couldn't move, let alone drive anywhere. Needless to say I am expecting a wonderful evening and I know that I and the 13 other guests there will enjoy it immensely.
