It's a tale as old as time. Couple goes to chain restaurant for date night (Outback, Bennigan's, Texas Roadhouse). You sit down starving, scanning the menu, ready to order one of everything. Waiter comes by, takes your order. You’re counting the minutes until you get to dig in to your main course. But in the meantime… they offer you some bread. Just a little appetizer to tide you over. They give you a basket, but you only need one, right? … Right?
Fast forward 5 minutes and you’re asking for more bread. The side of cinnamon butter? Yeah, you licked that clean before your waiter even brought the drinks out. Your main course finally arrives and out of pride you attempt to at least eat half of it. And you fail. You get that to-go box of shame as you chastise yourself for overindulging ONCE AGAIN… on bread. The worst part is you still have one piece of bread remaining in that basket as you pack up the remains of your main course into your doggy bag… and you know damn well you're putting that extra piece of bread in there too.
Don’t worry, this is a judgement-free zone, because Lord knows I’ve been there too. And now you can ruin your appetite at home too! These homemade dinner rolls are exactly what you crave when you go out. So don’t cook anything for the main course tonight. Just have a bread dinner.
You’re welcome.
