Don’t Forget to Set the Table (Writing Prompt)

November 3, 2017November 2, 2017 / Janna Hill / 2 Comments

What are your characters eating? Drinking?

Set the table and invite us into your story with tempting descriptions.

Is the food/drink new to the character or is it the usual?

What is the usual?

Is it wine? Is it red wine or white wine? Do they prefer Merlot or champagne?

Maybe one of them prefers liquor? Water? Soda?

Is it smooth, bitter, dry or sweet?

Add your own beef, chicken or lamb – heck serve it to a vegetarian. How did they respond?

Light a candle [or not] and cook up something imaginative from the elements in the photo.

Groovy huh? Write on!

Move Over Rover – Bon Appitite

Give the dog that TV dinner. You don’t want it anyway. It’s loaded with sodium, tastes like cardboard and has little to no nutritional value. And that stuff you were going to give your furry friend, heat it up and save it for yourself. It is not only good it is good for you. Well, at least it’s better than the TV dinner AND it is cheaper.

Just add a little salt and pepper, dump it over some instant rice and ring that dinner bell.

Heck I might be the next Julia Child 🙂

Weekly Photo Challenge: Happy

This weeks photo challenge is Happy.

What makes me happy? This gallery could go on forever with an endless list of small things that bring the greatest joy. It is probably a good thing that I am away from home right now, saving you from a trillion gigabytes of what makes me smile. I’ve narrowed it down to five from my hard drive.
