after-dinner

Eva Silverman, who co-hosts an Oakland Dinner Party, agrees.

Though tissues are present and tears are not uncommon, the Dinner Parties are distinctly not grief counseling or group therapy.

Those who come to the Dinner Party are self-selecting; they do want to talk about it.

Talking about death is never easy, but with food, comfort, and familiarity, a new kind of dinner party is making it easier.

Kyle Dietrich, 36, is a host of one of the DC Dinner Parties.

It was Wednesday night; over forty men sat down to the house-dinner at the Pandemonium Club.

As usual the dinner was recherché, for the Pandemonium chef enjoyed a world-wide reputation.

Dinner occurred in the middle of the day, and about nine in the evening was an informal but copious supper.

Then a nervous, anxious feeling that takes away my appetite, and prevents me from eating my dinner.

It is to be feared that the attractions of the house-dinner were not the sole inducement to many of those sitting there.
