Your Sunday Dinner time to eat!

15 years ago

I grew up having Sunday dinner, when we came in from church.

Sunday nites, when we came in from evening church, we'd always have Sunday leftovers.

So my question is: When do you have your Sunday dinner?

To me, dinner means your main meal, whether it be daytime or evening. My dinner is at lunchtime, cause I eat out for my main meal daily. Then oatmeal or cereal at nite.

Anytime between 3 and 5 PM.I grew up that way and raised my family the same way.Now it's just dh and i and we still stick to that.We always sat down and ate as a family as well.My kitchen has always CLOSED at no later than 6:30,so if you wanted anything after that you were/are on your own,and that includes cleaning up after yourself.

We have our main meal about the same time every day--7 p.m. When we worked, I didn't get home until 6 so it's still a habit. Also, by eating later DH doesn't snack all evening.

Grew up like you. Sunday dinner after church. Same menu every week. Fried chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy, a vegetable or two (depending on the season) and home-made yeast rolls. Only thing that varied was the type pie mother made. My favorite was banana cream. Made her own crust using lard and it was flaky and delicious!!! Once in a while we'd have cake--all made from scratch. That was back when cake mixes first came out and most cooks looked their noses down on them! LOL!!

Sunday evening my dad cooked--he made popcorn!!

patti is off visiting and will be back Tuesday for her usual thread. caroline, don't you love coutry lo boils? I do that every year for my birthday along with grandson's. I do the newspaper for the tablecloth and roll everything up in it that is disposable. How easy can that get. I made 7 up biscuits the other Sunday, except it was with club soda.

Shirley, sure hope the storm stays away! Sounds like you had a nice, hearty dinner to keep you warm. Sue, hope the snow continues to melt. That's the "good" thing about having snow this late in the season. It melts faster since the weather's a little warmer. (Well, that's the Weather Channel's explanation, anyway.) Jasdip, I don't blame him for being happy. I sure would be! Enjoy your cuppa. Pam, you are one lucky girl--guess I've said that before. Bet that soup was delicious! Raven, we had that same wind. It was really powerful, wasn't it. Glad we didn't have anyplace to go in our little Matrix--would've blown us to the next town :-) Are you going to LA for the holidays? We're going to Harry's sister's in Georgia. Looking forward to it. Yes, I'm happy Nita and Mike can come again. Stacey, Walnutcreek's Thai chicken sounds good. I'll have to do a search. If I can't find it, I'll be giving you a shout. We love Thai food.

A memory of eating Sunday dinner at Grandma's

Yep, sometimes even TWO Sears catalogs were used! LOL My dad was one of ten sons and many a Sunday was spent at my grandma and grandpa's house with all the uncles and aunts and cousins. Everybody brought food and I have many great memories of us all getting together. Of course, there was the time that all the kids climbed up on the woodshed and me, being the smallest, was afraid to climb down! The word went out and one of my uncles came and rescued me. Also, the time that the team of mules, Old Kate and Coalie were tromping along behind me in the barnyard. They would not have hurt a fly, but the faster I walked, the faster they followed me and I was terrified! LOL Thanks for making me think of all of that, SheilaJoyce.

Let me tell you. I was all excited about this Ham and Scalloped Potato benefit dinner the fire department of a small town, about 20min. away, was advertising. I told Mom the ad said serving begins at 4pm. Well, we drove all the way over there and here I hadn't remembered the time correctly. The townspeople we stopped to ask said they didn't know anything about a 4pm. dinner, but "their fire house had a cook out today from 11am - 1pm.It's over now." So we drove all the way back home but continued on into the city to eat at The Red Lobster. Well...I had never eaten at a Red Lobster before and altho the place was very busy and a line waiting for tables, I was not impressed. Too many breaded and fried things. ugh. Both of us could only eat half of our very expensive meals. Not my usual fare and I doubt I'll eat there again. Came home and took a swig of Pepto Bismol! And I've been so thirsty ever since I got home.
