Ha ha, my favorite meal of the day would have to be dinner! I basically love all my grandmother's homemade cooking. Nothing can go wrong when it comes your grandmother's cooking.
First and foremost, I love to spend my time my family members. This is also the main reason why I like to eat dinner, it's a time where everyone just sits down, takes a break from their busy schedule, and enjoys the food cooked by our loving grandmother. Due to the fact since my mother works two jobs, it's rare that we all get to sit at the family table and eat. I guess it's because of these rare moments I treasure eating dinner with my family every chance we got. Thus, approximately every 5:30 PM we all sit together in our family table at our cozy home.
Everyone takes a break from their busy work and help out with either the cooking or setting up the table. Usually my grandmother would cook a dish of fish, vegetables, and if we're lucky--soup! My brother and I would help set the table up by putting newspapers on the table as a sheet. Then, I will grab four small bowls, one for each of us and fills the space with white rice. At the same time my brother would bring the prepared dishes to the family table. When my mother comes downstairs to eat, everything would be fully prepared.
Eating with my mother, grandmother, and little brother is the best since I don't have to worry about manners. To me, eating should be relaxing and fun--you shouldn't have to worry about how much you eat, or how your posture makes people want to stop eating. My family members and I usually jokes around saying that one eats like a pig, hogging all the food--while another blames the food for tasting so good. Everyone laughs and talks about what they're doing for the day, and I think it's these everyday moments that I cherish the most.
