Yes, it is the happiest meal at home.
That’s because it’s the time when everyone is already at home. Lunch, would only be my parents-in-law and auntie, since me, hubby and brother-in-law are at work.
Breakfast, some are still sleeping while I eat earlier so as not to be late at work.
Even if I am dieting, just eating an apple and drinking water only for dinner , I always eat it at dinner time so I can share the stories for the day, by everybody.
Even if the foods prepared are simple, eating is always fun because it’s filled with stories and laughter.
What about you guys, in your house, what’s the happiest meal of the day? .
Note: Picture isn't our dinner

That's why I really have to put a note that it's the fiesta foods last year.

@SIMPLYD I also thought that was your dinner food. It's so plenty. It's a food for fiesta that's why

Yes, it's also the time to talk to my children if they want to tell me something or if they have problems.

@louievill That is also how we were with our father. We don't open up to him , but to our mother who would just tell him. That's how afraid we are of our strict father before.

@SIMPLYD my children do not hide anything from their mother and me. At times they have a little reservation telling me so they tell it to their mother to tell to mebut these are rare occasions only.
I always make it clear to them to open up and we are always there to help.

Do you all live together? I can imagine how lively it gets during dinner!
Dinner is my favorite meal too, but still can't beat breakfast/brunch on weekends!

Yes. Each one has their own room. Mother-in-law , my gay brother-in-law as well as the sister of mother-in-law who retired from the US has their own rooms at the second floor.
Father-in-law and hubby and I have our own bedrooms too at the ground floor.
Thus , we sometimes would only see each other for those 3 of us working , after resting from work during dinner time. So, it's always a happy meal.

@sunrisefan It's not ours . It's my in-laws . But eventually, it will just be me , my husband and gay brother-in-law who will be in it . It's really a big house and we don't have a helper. We only hire a cleaner , every other week.

Yes, that's exactly what happens at dinner time . It's the time to share what happened at our works and what did the 3 old people do at the house the whole day as well as other news that are also being aired on TV while we eat and watch too .

@ridingbet You have a worrier sister.
I also would not want to talk about it, unless it is something that is new and really needs attention that to be consulted to a doctor.

@SIMPLYD not all the time that we are complete, my dear. sometimes, my son goes out and he eats his lunch with his friends. but we are happiest when we 3 are together. but when my dear sister talks about the problems sh has about her health, i would just tell her that "we must talk of pleasant things while on the [dining] table".

@allknowing Oh so just one simple food can't be considered dinner by you.

And certainly , no one takes that much food in the evening except when it is inevitable, like that - a fiesta.
You mean you take snacks in the evening and don't consider that as dinner. To me, anything that is taken after 6:00 in the evening is already dinner.
In fact, I am just eating an apple and drink lots of water for dinner for thrice of four times a week. The rest, would be meal without rice.

That is so nice, because you two are always together in eating your meals.
At breakfast, hubby and the 3 old people will still be sleeping while my gay brother-in-law and I are already taking breakfast. We go to work together, since I ride in his car up to his office, then I will get a jeepney going to the office.
But at dinner time, everyone will already be at home to eat. So it's the happiest meal of the day.

We have always eaten dinner together as a family, even when our children were babies. Now it's just my hubby and me, but it's still eaten together. All meals are happy just being together. Glad you didn't gobble up all that food in your photo

Yes, even if it is you and your hubby now, it will still be a happy meal because you two eat together.
No, those foods are from a picture taken during our hometown fiesta. They were all cooked by my 3 sisters and a brother-in-law. A labor of love as it is said.

I know you would say that seeing those plentiful foods.
They were the foods prepared by my sisters and brother-in-law during our hometown fiesta last August 2016, as I have noted at the foot of the post.
Would you believe, I tasted all those. A little of everything , but with only a very few rice. Had I been fond of rice, I am now a "Dabiana". Do you know "Dabiana"?

There is only my fiance and I at home so either breakfast or dinner would be our happy meals. Breakfast more so on the weekend when are not both rushing out to work. It is nice to have dinner together at the end of work day and talk about how our day went. Then we get to spend the evening relaxing together.
