1. Who created Theme Dinner Roulette?
Hilatron and Josh created Theme Dinner Roulette because they love you.
2. What was the first Theme Dinner Roulette Dinner?
The first Theme Dinner Roulette Dinner consisted of �small multiple things,� realized by a meal of Spanakopita, non-chicken nuggets with peanut sauce, and tiny cheesecake. The Dinner was consumed to great acclaim on April 11, 2003.
3. How does one select the Theme in Theme Dinner Roulette?
In order to follow the �Roulette� spirit of Theme Dinner Roulette, it is best to have a way to select the attributes at random. One way to do this is to write a number of attributes (such as �square dinner,� �dinner with holes,� �stick dinner�) on slips of paper and keep them in a jar. The Chef can then select a slip of paper and create a Theme Dinner based on the attribute chosen.
4. Must one use only ingredients found in the house at the time that the Theme is chosen?
This should be decided by the participants before the attribute is selected. Beginners may wish to allow themselves the opportunity to go shopping for materials once they know what the Theme is to be. However, ultimately it�s up to the Chef whether he or she is willing to go to the grocery store.
5. How often should one play Theme Dinner Roulette?
As often as you like! Some people play on a regular schedule, while others choose to play spontaneously whenever they can�t think of what to have for dinner.
6. Is the Chef obligated to provide dessert in Theme Dinner Roulette, a la Iron Chef?
Yes.
7. Are participants required to eat all components of the Theme Dinner?
Yes. Participants should note any allergies or dietary restrictions before the game begins, and the Chef should honor these. Otherwise, as in roulette-with-a-gun, participants must accept what the fates deal them � in this case, a Theme Dinner rather than a bullet to the head. Really, it�s not that bad, when you think about it.
8. Are there any dangers in Theme Dinner Roulette?
One must be careful in selecting participants. Use your judgment � avoid inviting pranksters who are likely to propose inedible attributes, such as �metal dinner� or �scratchy dinner.�
9. How does one win Theme Dinner Roulette?
One must ensure that the entire Dinner adheres to the Theme. Dinners should consist of, at the minimum, one entr�e, one side dish, and one dessert item. All participants are free to lodge complaints about a breach of the Theme. If a complaint is disputed, a vote should be taken to determine the outcome. In the event of a tie, the situation can be resolved through thumb wrestling, a hot dog eating contest, or some other meaningless competition.
We hope you enjoy Theme Dinner Roulette!

Posted by: tree at April 13, 2003 07:35 AMThank you and hello to Michelle! I cannot move because moving is the worst thing ever, and my most recent one is too fresh, the memories too painful. Plus, what would we do with Murray?
A visit is essential while you guys are there, though.
