The Supper Club

I've lived in quite a few places, and no where else have I heard the term "Supper Club." The Supper Club is a restaurant open only for supper. Small towns in northern Wisconsin have a lot of Supper Clubs.

Last night, mom and I went to dinner at a local Supper Club. She had broasted chicken and I had broasted pork chops. Broasted is a fancy term used at Supper Clubs. It means deep fried in a pressure cooker. Often topped with cheese. This is Wisconsin.

At dinner, we were discussing Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin. We discussed the difficulties all families face with their children. I pointed out to mom that a family that lived across from the Supper Club, the H**** Family, had a lot of problems with one of their sons.

Mom then told me that the H*** Family has owed her $10 for eight years now. I know that mom hardly knows this family, so I had to probe further. "Well, their dog came to my farm and it was all covered in ticks. So, I used one of my Frontline flea and tick applicators on it and then put a note behind its collar that they owed me $10."

Thank goodness that Supper Clubs also serve cocktails.
