Nothing Better Than A Family Lunch!

West Haven, Connecticut
June 29, 2016 11:48am CST
Despite the fact that its payday and I had a hectic morning, I am glad I was able to go home for lunch and eat with my wife and kids! We had brown rice with black beans mixed with fried chicken and avacado salad. My wife even made some breaded chicken strips on the side and everything came out great! The perk of being able to go home everyday for lunch is a blessing, my son and I laid out for about half hour before heading back to my office. Happy Hump Day everyone!

I'm sure it's nice to go home and relax a little before going back to work. It's certainly pleasant.

What a blessing for all of you! Being together for meals is wonderful! That's how I grew up. I didn't have a meal unless I was eating with my family. God bless you all!

A family that eats together stays together. This is quite tough to do when everybody has different schedules so your day must have been special. Tasty lunch, by the way.

Yup, I used to buy lunch but its almost as costly as doing food shopping for a week so I just buy more food at the supermarket and my wife makes good meals

Not too many people live close enough to their work to be able to go home for lunch - at least none of the people I know. It is good that you are able to do this.

@BACONSTRIPSXXX Most lunch breaks here are an hour I think. I used to have 30 minutes so I could home half an hour earlier.

It is so lucky that you can have launch with your family always ! I can not have such luck at this moment because I live very far with my family. we are in different cities and thousand miles away. we can not eat launch everyday even every month. Only by the year end we can get together and have meals together during the couple of days. Really nice to enjoy meals with family :)
