OK, so it's my wife's birthday _and_ our youngest got his first college
acceptance a few days ago, so we went out to eat at our usual restaurant
of celebration, Houston's in River Edge, NJ. Everything there is
invariably good - we've never had anything bad, and just about
everything is really exceptional.. Expensive, yes, and probably a little
over-priced but you go in knowing everything you're going to order is
going to be a home run, and that's worth something, and worth going to a
few times a year.

Our boys, now ages 18 and 22, gave my wife and I grief as we discussed
everything being put in front of us and say, "We could make that at
home." They say we never do make any of it at home, so my wife and I
decided we'd start - tomorrow.

Warm spinach dip appetizer. I assume frozen spinach, some cream, and
some cheese. I'd appreciate anyone's favorite recipes for this - it
need to be "wow" good. We couldn't figure out the cheeses - maybe
fontina, maybe gruyere, we thought. A bit of nutmeg, perhaps. Maybe
fresh spinach ...

Recipes appreciated (links are fine) and we will try one or maybe even
two of them tomorrow as part of dinner.

Thanks much in advance.
