Would you, could you, eat cereal for dinner?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
My husband, while wonderful in so many ways, has one strange idiosyncrasy when it comes to dining. He believes that certain foods should be enjoyed during specific times of the day, and that’s that.
Cereal is no doubt a breakfast food, as are eggs, waffles and pancakes. Sandwiches are for lunch, unless they are so spiffed up that they are barely recognizable as sandwiches, and their names alone are as big as a dinner plate, like a grilled chicken with pancetta and basil mayonnaise on a kaiser roll. Hot dogs are lunch food too, unless they are dinner-sized dogs by Hebrew National and are served with the works.
Dinner doesn’t have to be meat and three. It just has to be substantial. He’s willing to even go as far as having a main course salad as long as there’s protein of some sort and an entire baguette to go with it.
I eat whatever whenever. Pizza for breakfast, yogurt for dinner. I couldn’t care less. What about you? Do you watch the clock when deciding what to eat?
