Let’s start with a well known confession: I’m not a fan of long nights/short days and the heat. I do however enjoy big spectacle event movies. Starting in early May and running the months of summer there will be plenty of these.
For the past few years I have welcomed this time of year with a Thursday night party. I cook dinner, preferably grilling but am flexible depending on the weather. This tradition I call Opening night.
This year I baked some chicken and veggies served with a slices of watermelon. I must say dinner turned out excellent.
The feature this year was Captain America: Civil War. It was a lot of fun to watch and a great addition to the opening night tradition.
To me it doesn’t matter what the movie is, and how much I either like or dislike the it. (Ironman 3 was awful and was part of this tradition a few years ago.) I was thrilled to have such great company over for the night. To host and share this experience is an event I look forward to every year. I get excited when tickets go on sale and eagerly assemble the group. I love planning the menu, grocery shopping for the night, and cooking. (I enjoy cooking in general). I’d see the movie regardless but wouldn’t care as much if it wasn’t for having people to share in the evening.
When I am seeing one of the big, spectacle, event movies that come out over the summer season, I want to share them with as many people as possible. For those reading this please ask me when I’m going and invite yourself to join me for the evening.
