Dinners with Johnny: A Weekly Series
I’ve been really lazy in updating my actual food blog and for that I apologize. I’m going to do my best to remedy that.
I’ve decided that I’m going to start a new category, called: Dinners with Johnny.
Johnny is my brother and lived with me for over seven years. He moved in when my ex and I were still together and stayed with for seven years after my ex and I divorced. We had our moments of struggle and frustrations, just like any siblings (especially adult siblings, living together) but he became a major source of companionship and support to myself and my kids.
This fall, I sold my home and we had to part as roommates–him moving just across the lake and myself, down the road. It was important that I not lose the time with him after we moved into separate households.
With Tuesdays being my day off, we have fallen into a weekly dinner night so that we can keep that connection strong. This gives us time to visit, watch stupid tv together and for me to feed my culinary passions. I love the planning stage, just as much as I love the preparing.
So, that said…Welcome to “Dinners with Johnny: A Weekly Series”
