abc card
by blackgoldfish
We have a birthday tradition in our family we’ve been doing since we were kids. We go around the dinner table and each person takes a letter of the alphabet, and we say something nice about the birthday girl/boy. A is for Artistic! B is for the Beautiful! We go around and around the table until we get to Z
Les américains surfent (plus) la nuit
by thomas.deyries
* We all share the same morning and evening Internet addiction: On average, European traffic starts picking up around 5am GMT / 7 am CEST and similarly US traffic takes off around the same time at 7am EDT. Internet traffic also reaches its peaks in the early evening (7pm GMT / 9pm CEST in Europe and 10pm EDT / 7 pm PDT in the US).
* North American’s don’t surf over dinner: Unlike European traffic, US daily Internet percentages take a small dip in the early evening between 6pm and 10pm EDT. In contrast, Europe traffic keeps climbing through the evening until a marked 9pm GMT / 11pm CEST drop off. Of course, Europeans tend towards later (and longer) dinner hours than their North American counterparts.
* What Europeans do at night: Actually, this bullet point should be what Europeans don’t do at night — spend a lot of time on the Internet. In contrast to North America, European traffic plummets much more steeply and reaches a lower daily minimum than US traffic (US traffic never drops below 50% whereas Europe declines more more than 60% from its peak). Apparently, North American Internet users stay up later and use the Internet longer (next blog post we’ll explore what they’re doing on the Internet late at night).

Now That’s A Spicy Spaghetti!
by macbros
I was going to post this yesterday, but after having a full plate of this stuff, I ended up passing out and didn’t have the time to post it afterward. LOL
I got the idea to have some Spaghetti after cooking a crap load at work. The stuff I made there smelled so good that I had the craving for dinner when I got home.

Around the World in 80 Days: A Travel Blog by Conde Nast Traveler at Concierge.com
by wiredsetman
Day 78: A shout out to my man Francis, that rare breed of waiter who knows how to call a spade a spade. Francis demonstrated this exceptional ability last night at dinner. I was flummoxed, unable to decide what to choose as an appetizer, and so I put the following question to Francis: "How about the Atlantic seafood tian? Is it any good?"
His answer: "Not really."
Boom. An honest answer from an honest man.

"Forty-eight almost effortless ways you can do a little good in the world"
1) Every day for a year, jot down one thing you love about your child/husband/friend (he has a crooked smile; she snorts when she laughs). At the end of the year, give the person your one-of-a-kind, 365-item list
2) If you know someone is going out to dinner to celebrate a special occasion, call the restaurant in advance and say you’ll pick up the cost of her wine or dessert
Movida
by jogee_feroza
Movida is a super trendy club as well as a restaurant and bar. The club attracts an A-list crowd, with queues outside from Wednesday to Saturday.
There is a VIP room at Movida and it tends to get a lot of press coverage. I was fortunate enough to get an invite in and its really quite lavish.
The restaurant serves a mixture of French and Italian classics, set in the three brick lined listed arches of the Palladium Theatre. There is a bar running through the arches serving pre- and after dinner drinks.
