At my house dinner can be very important. That being said for the majority of the time dinner is a time for the family to sit down talk about our days and then unlike many families we do not sit at the table we sit at on our couch get comfy and just eat! While this is the case during many of the extremely hectic week nights, this is not always what we do. When we have formal dinners we all gather in the dining room and dress nicely. Food wise we eat a lot of different proteins. Generally we have steak a night or two a week with some different fish or even tacos.
While dinner at my house can range from extremely causal to formal, I have been to a multitude of other houses unlike mine in this way. One of the my favorites was the dining at the house of my Persian friend. Rather than eating the normal American dinner, large amounts of beautiful Persian food was there for us to eat. The serving of the food was generally the same, but the amount of work that went into the feast was insane. To be honest I am making myself hungry as I speak!
Thanks for the insight on your day to day life. It sounds very fun and diverse in your household. I really like the couch eating because of the comfortable atmosphere it provides. Maybe I'll come and eat diner with you one day ;) <3 <3.
ReplyDeleteI like the comparison to your dinners and those of your Persian friend's. Were there any differences in the variety of food or the amounts there, because I know that is one of the things that varies a lot culture by culture, especially with guests.
