supper club (aka the l word discussion group)
so as the macy's thanksgiving day parade starts to gear up, i have retired to the couch for my next post b/c the kitchen table chairs wreck my back.
on monday night we had our monthly supper club at glennda & kim's house. now what i like about how they do supper club is that they make a bunch of little dishes and so its almost like a buffet. this time they had some ravioli with walnut pesto sauce, another pasta with vodka sauce (which i love), eggplant parmesan with and without the cheese, salt potatoes and biscuits. oh they also had these carrots cooked with brown sugar and maple syrup (delish!) so jes just about wet herself over the salt potatoes. i guess this is a family recipe of glennda's where you boil these certain type of potatoes in REALLY salty water, then when they are soft you smash them (on yer plate) and cover them in melted whipped butter. so let me re-cap: potatoes, salt and butter. i told them if there was some way you could incorporate PBR, i think jes would eat this meal breakfast lunch and dinner. they were really good yall, as was everything. and what is equally exciting was that for dessert we finished off the birthday cupcakes from jes's party. the kids still loved them. i was just glad to get rid of them. i still have this huge fucking bottle of red wine that i can barely look at. its probably going bad so i might just dump it out.
anywho after our divine dinner at supper club we retired to kim and glennda's lovely living room (the largest wall in that room is painted this gorgeous chocolate brown and the pillows are colorful and just the right accent), and talked about L word for HOURS. see they watch it every week (they actually watch it TWICE in a row when it is on) and so they are all caught up. jes and i, on the other hand, have just finished the first season on netflix and then last night watched the first four episodes of season two. our goal is to be completely caught up so we can start watching the new ones with them come january. i think this is an achievable goal. we ALL (except jes) hate Jenny Schecter. i mean really, it's getting unhealthy for me how much i dislike her. though she was sort of manageable in these first four episodes, except of course, her whack ass fashion, but that is neither here nor there.
so we played this game called "kill, fuck, marry" and basically you are given three characters from the L word and you have to say which one you will kill, which one you will fuck and which one you will marry. let me say first that all the rules of this game were not given up front, so that clearly impacted my decision. and, for the record, when we say "kill" we of course mean "get rid of." this is not a game that encourages real violence (though most episodes i do want to shake jenny REALLY HARD). so the first trio was jenny, tim & ivan. i tried to get pics of the three to post here, but i could only get a still of jenny. i chose to kill jenny b/c i hate her, marry ivan (b/c i heart kelly lynch, which is cheating b/c i would not really be with kelly lynch i would be with her nasty "drag king" (?) persona that wears the worst george michael cross earring EVER- but whateva) and then fuck tim b/c i thought it was like fuck him one time and then he goes away. jes chose to FUCK jenny (i mean WHAT?????), kill tim (she has a case in the ass for tim and i am not sure why) and then marry ivan (i think) the whole room erupted in shouting b/c we all came to realize that jes is a jennylover. she explained how she thinks jenny with marina is hot, we reminded her this is JUST JENNY, not jennyandmarina. she backpedalled, she justified and then she admitted it. she thinks jenny is cute. the LOVE OF MY LIFE, jes, thinks jenny the crazy fucknut terrible writer, big eyed, bad fashion jenny is cute.
then the kids tell me that to "fuck" someone in this game means you have sex with them and only them FOREVER. once this was explained to me i rescinded my decision and changed to fucking ivan and marrying tim (my parents would be so proud-not really, they could care less who i marry, but i bet some family member somewhere would be happy i married a man). but i still killed jenny b/c she makes me CRAZY. it was a fun time. ali and jes and kim and glennda all tried to top one another on horrendous triplets to choose from. then we watched the teaser from next season twelve thousand times.
we had to leave early b/c jes had to get home to continue working on her memo. i am not sure when the next supper club is but i am excited b/c it sounds like the kids are serious about going gambling with me some time soon. ooh i can't wait for the rush of roulette.
ok i am going to crawl back into bed with jes and snuggle.
happy turkey day. eat some pie for me.
