Do You Cook A Big Sunday Dinner?

I believe that the Sunday dinner is an institution that brings family together and keeps them together. Sadly, it seems to be going the way of so many other important traditions. It's great that your family still does this.

I think we all miss our mother's cooking no matter how old we get, naty. I usually eat light during the week-salads, soups and quick meals. On Sunday is when I go all out.(:

You can buy most things frozen now lol but I always make my own Yorkshire Puddings I hardly ever eat Chips I do eat Fish occasionally but not to keen on either lol

You can really buy frozen Yorkshire Puddings, gabs? My, my, that's a surprise! I would really love to taste some traditional English fare. I love fish and chips.(:

Where I grew up in the south, steerforth, the midday meal was referred to as dinner. We had breakfast, dinner, and supper. In other areas people call it breakfast, lunch, and dinner.:D

I guess it has been a tradition in my family for so long, Calais, that I passed it down to my daughters. Sometimes when I don't feel like cooking, one of my kids will cook at home and bring my dinner to me. I used to love it best of all when the entire family would get together for an enormous dinner.

Hi there world...I miss having family dinners, or just meals where I sat down at the table. They do say eating in front of the TV is bad, and I would tend to agree. My family is, unfortunately, really independent, and most of us eat at different times. The only exception to that rule is my Grandmother and my nephew - both of whom eat at similar times each day. The good thing about that is, my nephew (who is six) will oftentimes suggest that we sit and eat together. And lately, he's been really good about seating himself at the table, even though he would much prefer to eat in front of the TV or a video or what have you! Thanks again for this post and discussion. Take care of yourself and have a great weekend!

Food is to be enjoyed, celestial. I believe that if more families actually sat down together occasionally for a meal, they would be much closer. I understand that many people live hectic lives these days, but one day, at least, should be sat aside to enjoy a nice family dinner. If you don't have a family to share it with, there's nothing wrong in making a nice dinner for yourself. I invariably cook too much on most occasions, but it provides me with leftovers to eat for a few days, or I can always freeze some.

That sounds like a great plan, carlaabt. I grew up in a family where we had big meals every day. Of course, I got away from that down through the years. Now I satisfy my need to cook one day of the week since I live alone.

Well, pyewacket, at least your lack of Sunday dinners may have spared you from getting a wide behind, LOL. I've noticed that people who share a lot of family meals usually have to wage a constant battle of the bulge(myself included). But it's so great for family harmony and Kodak moments.(:

When I say "big" Sunday dinner, MrPahn, I don't mean something elaborate. I just mean a meal that requires a little preparation, rather than what you'd normally throw together through the week. It doesn't have to be anything fancy.

It is very good of you to cook nice dinners, player. You and your roommate have a nice relationship to divide the chores this way.

Yes, 3lilangels, cooking is great, and so much fun. And, one thing's for sure, you can usually find someone to take the extras off your hands.(:

I think it is so nice to set aside that one day to add a few extra touches, ladybug. Sunday is a special day to most people, and, as such, should be treated so.

It's nice when you have someone to cook for, love. That is when I enjoy cooking the most. That is also why I often invite my friend to eat with me, because she truly appreciates a good meal every now and then.
