2nd Wednesday

It's five dollar spaghetti dinner night!

September through June, on the second Wednesday of the month I meet my dad and usually his girlfriend too for a spaghetti dinner. It's at a Masonic Lodge about thirty minutes from home and let me say it's worth every penny of that five dollars. You get salad, bread, spaghetti with fabulous sauce, a soft drink, dessert and coffee if you wish. Now all that alone would be worth $5 in this day and age, especially when it's a fundraiser, but it's really all about the sauce. It's a very hearty meat sauce, that I've even referred to as chili without beans and this being my sophomore year of attending the dinners I've learned not to be bashful about asking for a little extra...well, actually I just say "load it up with sauce!" Going to the dinner is also something that I do with my dad regularly, which admittedly I haven't always been very good about, and sometimes I even flip the bill for all three of us!
