I remember that saying all too well.
Hubby and I both worked out of the house when we were first married. And we shared a car. Boy did I do some driving.
Anyway some days we wouldn't get home till after 6:00. That meant I either made a crock pot meal and we ate pretty quick or we started from scratch and ate by seven something. I remember zipping around the kitchen in overdrive for those dinners and the guys saying "I'm hungry, how long till we eat". I didn't want to give them a snack because then it would be, "I'm not very hungry" and at ten o'clock "I'm starving"!
Gosh I don't know how I managed back then, but I did.
What time do you eat dinner? How do you manage dinner time?

Hey kathy, I always ate late. When I worked and lived alone
I never ate before 9:00. I used to make myself cook on the
weekends for the week so I wouldn't have to cook during
the week or I would get take-out or just throw something
together. Now my boyfriend gets home almost 10:00 but
he eats at his job because he works in a college cafeteria
doing clean up so he gets to grab something to eat. Sometimes
he wants to eat when he gets home so I eat with him around
11:00. So when it comes to eating I'm all screwed up. I don't
eat anything during the day hardly ever. I start eating late
at night and then I don't stop. I really am in a messed up
rut and that includes my crazy sleeping pattern too. I need
to get myself back on some kind of normal schedule. It's hard
for me right now since I'm not working. I have appointments
that I have to go to and I end up canceling them because I
can't get myself together because I stay up all night. Not
a very good thing.

And I thought I was bad. LOL It's just hubby and I now. We eat all crazy times too. And I, like you, don't usually eat during the day. When four comes around I'm getting hungry. Sometimes I have coffee and well then I don't eat till eight or so. Hubby eats late like midnight but I can't wait that long!

We have dinner at 8:30 every night. My husband works nights and sleeps days so we eat when he gets up. Just before he goes to work. When he's not working tho, we eat aroung 6 or 7. When the kids were home, we would eat earlier around 6 and I would warm it up for my husband when he got up. Now it's just us two and I don't mind waiting until he can eat. It's better than eating it warmed up.
