Dinner at Home.

When I was a young coming of age man, living in my father's home we would always have family dinner. It would consist of dinner in the dining room. Dad would sit opposite of me at the head of the table. Zoe would sit to his left and her son would sit next to her in his high chair.

Eventually, with moving around the U.S. we would all sit in the living room and have amazing dinners. Watch some television and tuck in for the night. However, these family dinners were more frequent than before in my father's home.

Family dinners now consist of my two roommates and I. John (he's the oldest), he's really good at making pancakes for breakfast. I'm usually the guy who'll make the dinners. I don't mind. It allows me to make meals. Usually some kind of meat, be it beef, chicken or pork. Pork isn't my strong suit. I do try though.
Two of my best meals I've conjured since living with the guys has been Rachel Ray's 30min. meal called a Cheese Burger Casserole. The other would happen to be a pot roast. Then again, who can't pull off cooking a slow cooker. :/ Either way, usual side are a vegetable and or rice. Sometimes both. Either way, the only thing I have to work around is the amount of spice and seasoning used. Diddly doesn't like 'spicy' food.

These days for dinner, the guys and I will eat dinner in the living room and sometimes in the kitchen. The three of us will sit and either watch a movie on NetFlix. Or we'll talk about the politics of work, aspects of life and many other things. The usual bullshit guys talk about.
