Whimsy Dinner: The Masculine and The Feminine Have a Dinner Party
A weekly practice that we do together to embody whimsy.
Recently I read a medium article all about a woman who got annoyed with her boyfriend when they went grocery shopping. She blamed it on her own impatience, but to me it seemed like she was really annoyed because her partner got all soft and floaty in the grocery store. The problem they had was how to buy food while also being in the flow of romantic love.
While it isn’t always easy, here’s how my partner and I create art out of buying kale.
Whimsy Dinner
Right after we started dating my partner said to me, “Every time I go to the grocery store there’s always stuff I want to buy, like cool vegetables, or random noodles. But I always stop myself because I can’t figure out what I would do with them”
We had been having one of those early relationship conversations where you talk about how you do ordinary things, grocery shopping, buying clothes online, or washing the dishes.
“Well what if we went to the store and you just picked out what you wanted and I’d figure out how to make a meal out of it?”
She smiled at me. “You would do that?”
