That phrase irritates me for some reason. Laura says it all the time, and I never came across (LOLZ) someone that said it until her. That's definitely not "city folk" terminology.
Chris, did you mean that I was supposed to say: "preparing supper" or something?
Yeah, it's pretty m,eeeeeeeh to me, but I'm ultra biased towards IPA's these days. You should try Red Hook's Big Ballard IPA. It;s limited and deeeeelish. I thnk it only comesit 22oz bottle.Dinner? tonight that would be Garlic Bread made from scratch, Ravioli noodles bought at the store with hamburger bought at the store stuffed inside. Marinara sauce made from scratch, and all sorts of fun additions such as garlic, onion, bell pepper, olive, mushroom, basil, oregano, thyme, crushed red pepper, habanero sauce, and my own semen. It's gonna taste awesome.
Incidentally, anyone else ever had Pike Kilt Lifter beer? this shit is AWESOME! Makes great beer batter on halibut.
No, I say fixing dinner/supper. It's mainly used in the south, though, along with "fixing" to go to the store/movies/etc. Actually it's more like, "I'm fixinuh go to tha stowur."
