It all started when I graduated college in 2003. My older sister and I decided to rent an apartment together close to the city of Pittsburgh. Although we lived together we quickly found out that our lives were very busy and we didn’t seem to see each other. We decided to make official plans to spend time at the apartment. Every Tuesday we would have dinner together. As most sibling relationships go, this turned into a bit of a competition; who could plan and cook the best dinner. We made 4 course meals, tried new recipes and experimented with different cuisines. It was exciting and gave us something to look forward to each week. We began to invite more family and friends and turned it into an event.
Although I’m now married and living happily with my husband, I do miss these weekly dinners and spending time with my sisters. We have started the tradition again on a monthly basis and included our younger sister and her husband who are living back in the area.
The Tuesday Night Dinner is still a bit of a competition amongst us siblings, although it is more about spending time with family and creating new memories together.
