Bachelor Christmas Dinner

A good friend of mine, Derek, has been emailing, calling and texting me all day to rescue me from my Bachelor Christmas Dinner. His wife, Anne, is a fantastic cook… gourmet cook. They want me to come over today (right now) for a beautiful dinner with their family. Christmas is a day for family, so I’ve always felt funny sitting down to break bread with another family. Though they continue to call (I’m waiting for the police to come any minute), I have chosen my dinner.

For Thanksgiving, my kids joked with me, “What type of pizza we were going to eat?” It was just the motivation I needed to make an incredible Thanksgiving dinner. We had the works! Turkey, stuffing, potatoes, gravy, pumpkin pie, rolls, etc. Everything came out perfect - and even the turkey was incredible - a very moist Butterball.

Now it’s Christmas and my kids are at their Mom’s house. It’s time for a Bachelor Christmas Dinner!

At 3AM this morning, while perusing the aisles of the local 24-hour pharmacy, I found my Bachelor Christmas Dinner:

  • Lay’s Cheddar and Sour Cream Potato Chips… that’s right folks, they put the dip on the chips so you don’t have to waste time dipping. And they were on sale! Buy 1 get 1 free.
  • 2 Cans of Campbell’s Grilled Steak Chunky Chili. Nothing but the best!
  • 2 Cans of Generic Diet Orange soda borrowed from my neighbor (I’m house-sitting her 3 cats)
  • And Desert? A fine ACID Blondie cigar. (Found it in a zip loc on my desk… it’s perfect)

I took a picture to save the memory in time:

You guys may think I’m crazy to give up a gourmet meal for this… but add a television table, boxers and an alien special on the History Channel, and we’ve got a very, very, Merry Christmas for Doug!

Merry Christmas Everyone!

lol… that’s quite the meal there Doug. I’m doing the solo thing as well this year, but I felt like having some potato’s and chicken instead. Those chips look mighty fine,… I want some.

P.S. Is there a way to add a feature, so the system remembers me each visit? I’m not a fan of retyping my information each time. Thanks.

Nice to read you didn’t hook up with that creepy dude at Starbucks last night ;)
However, your Christmas meal looks good, I think you should still go visit with your friends…

Shoot why not wear your boxers, be the life of the party and bring your chips and dip too… that would be a Christmas to remember!

I’ll go Bill one better - that’s bloody awful!!
Next time accept the invitation from your friends - good food, good wine, (maybe a good cigar) and good conversation - all the ingredients for a perfect meal.
Love
Poppa

You just didn’t go because Derek is such a dork. And he has those newspaper germs… You don’t have to make excuses. I’m sure after eating this assortment of food, he’s glad you didn’t come over AFTER.
