Organizing Summer Fun When Everyone is Bored: A Unique Dinner

     
To continue my series on Organizing Summer Fun When Everyone is Bored: A unique dinner is a bit complicated but a lot of fun. You give your family/guests menus (see below) which have strange names for the items served. They choose what they’d like to eat for four courses. They don’t know that their utensils are included in the unusual descriptions below. 

It makes for a unique experience to see what people end up with for each course - applesauce, fork, butter, and ranch dressing, for example. Dish up each course and laugh! 

Change the menu and make up your own names for them, if you wish. Even teenagers like this dinner! :)
