It'll be my birthday soon and I've no idea what to do to celebrate with my family.
Usually we gather and go eat out or make a meal at home but I'm uninspired about any restaurants or cafes atm, and I've no idea what menu to suggest if the gathering happens at home.
So perhaps you guys can recommend either something that's fun to cook or easy or maybe a type of dish you enjoyed somewhere. Or maybe you have other suggestions, like going to the cinema- but there aren't any interesting movies on now.
My family and I play simple games like uno stacko (Jenga) or bananagrams. Jackbox is also super fun and can get even people who don't normally enjoy games involved.
On the sideline my sister and I also will play a drinking bingo game for every time our parents do something predictable or annoying, which makes things more tolerable if you have complicated family relationships.
If your family likes singing you could also do karaoke? Or go bowling or mini golf?
Buy 10x wings per person and 10x hot sauces and craft your own hot ones interviews. Depending on the amount t of people you have you can ask all or only a few people questions per wing. You can really get to know some fun stuff about your family/friends that you may not have known before
‐ marinate the wings a day in advance with salt, pepper, and baking powder (aluminum free). Bake at 400 for 45 min-an hour, then toss wings in sauce + butter mix.
get someone on wing cooking duty, someone on coating duty, and 1-2 people on question crafting duty.
You could do a theme potluck that also leans into a decorative theme. So for example, a Tiki theme, tropical drinks, and people bring some Hawaiian food.
Crêpes-party ! Cook a bunch of crêpes and prepare some stuff to put in : either salty (meats, cheeses, cream, smoked fish,...) or sweet (chocolate sauce, caramel, jelly, fruits spread, sugar,...). You can ask people what they like before hand, so that everyone has something they appreciate. If you need a vegan option, you can swap milk for plant milk and eggs for a mix of starch and water.
