How To Have Fun On War Week -- Suppertime

Everyone is so down! Come on guys, let's get happy -- very unhealthy to be so worried all the time. Especially if terrorists are going to take you out NEXT week, might as well have fun THIS week.

First of all, start eating only comfort foods that you love. May I suggest a menu for tonight:

Appetizer: Purple Marshmellow Peeps or Kosher Macaroons (my favorite Easter and Passover foods)
Entree: Meatloaf with Gravy or Turkey A La King *Tommy Tucker Plate" from Howard Johnson's) or Filet Mignon or Tacos
Veggies: We actually eat a lot of frozen spinach at our house and call it "Green Ice" This would be perfect for tonight, but you must sing the Popeye Song while serving.
Dessert: Every now and then my mom would slip and let us START with dessert -- this is perfectly okay for a week like this week. Dessert should be an assortment of food you can buy at the movies -- Jujubees, Raisinets, Junior Mints, Ice Cream Bonbons, or more tacos.

Important Detail: the person serving dessert, like the 1940's cigarette girl, should rig up a little exhibition shelf that they wear at their midriff with red ribbon straps that go from the shelf to their shoulders and go from person to person at the table offering the dessert like they used to do in old time movie theatres If this is an adult household only, a special War Week treat, of course is that the server should be stark naked, however a thong and high heels is acceptable for those who prefer to dispense dessert partially clad. Now is that about the best dinner menu you've had in a long while or what?
