Today we chose to use our second BOGO (Buy One Get One) at the AVI Resort Hotel for Brunch. They had the most delicious steaks, boneless, about the size of my hand, very tender, eat all you want! I had 5 of them (Glutton be my middle name)! With all the other goodies, which included bacon, eggs, roast turkey & stuffing, codfish, blintzes, corned beef hash, sausage patties, pancakes, gosh, there was more, I forget, plus a whole steam table of Mexican food, including Taco meat, which my wife loves on her salad, AND Menudo! Yum, yum! 2 eat for $11.99! Frank
While my wife was away, I decided I wanted to get one of the old standard Banquet TV dinners with chicken, corn, and mashed potatoes. I was disappointed to find that they had no such thing at the store. They had Banquet frozen dinners but all they had was weird stuff, none of which I had any interest in. None of the other brands they carried included chicken, potatoes, and corn either. I hadn't had one of those in years but didn't know that they'd quit making them. Or maybe Hannaford just doesn't carry them.
I haven't had one of those since probably the 70's... but I think they still sell all those TV dinners in the frozen section of some supermarkets here too... Tonight for Dinner I had Lasagna with a delicious bechemel sauce topping... but for some reason I felt a little hungry some hours on , so now at just after 11pm I've made myself a Black treacle and Stout flavoured ham sandwich..
They still carry Banquet frozen dinners in our local stores. When I need a fried chicken fix I choose the Hungry-Man Classic Fried Chicken dinner. I eat the sides, including the chocolate brownie that usually contains a few kernels of corn, and one small piece of chicken then I have the other two pieces of chicken on day two with a salad. Tonight's dinner was a bowl of bran flakes with almond milk and a SF Dole pineapple snack cup.
We had fajitas, with lots of onions, mushrooms, and bell peppers, and some hamburger for meat. Bobby had his with whole wheat tortillas, and I had mine as a fajita salad over romaine lettuce, I didn’t have any salsa , but the Sriracha sauce worked great instead. Dogs got the leftovers........ wasn’t much though, and Bobby and I are both full and satisfied.
Thank goodness the thread refers to the evening meal as SUPPER, not dinner! Can you imagine Christ having a last DINNER with his disciples? When I was a boy back East, we had three meals a day: Breakfast, Dinner, and Supper, which was the main meal. Dinner was usually a hot meal. If it was just a sandwich and milk, we called it "Lunch".

When I was a kid we had breakfast, dinner, and tea. Tea was usually the warmed-over odds and ends left from dinner. I think that was a practical holdover from the days before mechanical refrigeration. Somewhere along the way it gradually changed to breakfast, lunch, and supper. I think it probably changed when people went away to work and school with a sack/pail lunch and the midday meal was no longer a sit-down affair. Some folks believe it changed when Otto Frederick Rohwedder introduced the commercial bread slicing machine in 1928 and sandwiches became more common. Now for the important news of the day, tonight's supper will be a tuna melt, Claussen dill pickle and a scoop of French vanilla ice cream.
When I was growing up it was breakfast dinner and tea...and then supper.. Now it's breakfast, lunch and Dinner.. and no-one has supper any more because everyone has dinner much later than back in the day !!
In most of the places I have been, dinner was the main meal, no matter when it occurred. Easter Dinner, Christmas Dinner, Thanksgiving Dinner, etc., but the remaining meals if they occurred were breakfast, lunch (if dinner was the evening meal) or supper (if dinner was the midday meal).
Just call the last meal...Feedtime . I made a zucchini casserole with a side of rice and mixed veggies . It wasn't bad, not sure I would make it that way second time around. Tonight pork chops with garlic and herb sauce...the rest I will figure out later.
I can't make up my mind...tempura chicken and baked beans ... or Lamb chops... with roast potatoes, veggies and gravy... I'll let you know later what I had..
I don't care what you call it, just don't call me late for it.... And since it's only about 10 a.m. here in the Sonoran Desert, I have no idea what we will have or when we will have it.
