And food.<br />My husband just started a new job and the boys' sport training times changed so this term we don't eat our evening meal together for 3 days of the week. And it upsets me. There is a saying (don't know the origin) "A family that eats together, stays together.) I believe that. At least we still have a sit-down breakfast together every morning.<br /><br /><br />I also like what you say about respecting the food. I haven't thought about it that way before. But it is true that a sit-down meal is usually better planned and healthier that an on-the-run meal.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08265845785916762436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603107829473043654.post-7873513648718090012010-09-22T22:50:15.227-04:002010-09-22T22:50:15.227-04:00Thank you, Frank :-)I do care, maybe too much.

Betsy is not home, I'm not sure what's happening for dinner. <br /><br />Marie, when I think of you, the blog you, I think of food more than anything. Your meals look amazing, and I always think -how does she know how to do that. And it looks and reads like it matters -enormously.Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02554893883207752597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603107829473043654.post-62109205579868242862010-09-22T17:36:54.972-04:002010-09-22T17:36:54.972-04:00Yes, dinamow - the herb in the jam jar is importan...Yes, dinamow - the herb in the jam jar is important.

I would fetch the kids from school and we would sit at the table and eat a simple salad or sandwich and TALK.<br />In summer we would eat at the table on the stoep. Lots of veggies and salads, every day. And meat. Their friends were always amazed that to us, that was the way to do it. Now that they are at varsity, they miss that the most.petronoreply@blogger.com
