Family Night

I'm a firm believer in families having dinner together at the kitchen table every evening.  It hasn't happened here for months, but I still believe in it.  You know, firmly.  I decided to make it happen tonight, so I took the following steps to ensure my victory in the fight to preserve family time.
Disconnect the doorbell.
Board the windows.
Hide Hunnepunkin's superhero tights.
Disassemble all cellphones and hide components.
Cut the telephone line.  (I wore a ski mask for this because that's how I've always seen it done on TV.)
Bake a dessert.
Excavate the kitchen table.
Find some plates.
Nap.
After all that, it occurred to me that if we were going to have a family dinner tonight, there should be some dinner to eat, so I whipped up some fancy gruel.
I even picked up The Avengers and The Hurt Locker from Rob's Video, as bait.  https://www.facebook.com/pages/Robs-Video/154452684597987?ref=ts&fref=ts
As it turns out, Hunneypunkin is out with his bass because it's band night, The Sons are across town on an X-box adventure, The Daughters are down the road with their homies plotting world peace, and I'm home alone with Jeremy Renner.  It's all good.
