... 2015 Family Dinners Are Significant For those interested in improving their family’s interpersonal relationship and overall health, say, “goodbye” to take out food and “hello” to home-cooked family dinners. In this modern age and technologically advanced century, people rarely eat at home with their families. In America, many parents work long hours in which it becomes challenging for them to cook home- meals and eat together with their children. Therefore, many families resort to ordering takeout food.

His radiant smile lights up and we both proceed to introduce ourselves. I’ve been on many of these types of dates, but something always manages to ruin a beautiful night. The waitress comes and takes our orders, when she leaves there is that awkward silence that is left. However, I intent to break the ice, but my date, just like the other ones I’ve dated, intents to break the silence by taking out his phone and start looking through it. This is communication at its finest, at least in the world we live today. Today’s society is undoubtedly dependent on technology. With every new product that corporations produce it leads to people wanting them. Technology has been around for quite some time and is being constantly innovated. Though technology has been able provide incredible miracles through discovering new diseases, healing diseases, and preventing them, they also can lead to causing competition not only within society but within corporations as well.

Upon my arrival and growing excitement to help her by tasting what she was making, I was refused. She promptly told me they were for later after dinner. Dinner now seemed very far away. So now I am hungry and bored. I then made my way to the living room where my dad was reading some sort of magazine. I asked him what he was reading and if he could tell me about it. He told me it was important instructions for gardening and could not be disturbed right now. He then suggested I go check on my mom’s cooking or go outside and find something to do. Now I am back to being bored and hungry and headed back in to the kitchen. When I got to the kitchen my mom asked why I had returned. I told her dad sent me to check on what she was cooking. She told me nice try, why don’t you go outside and find something to do. So she brushed the hair out of my eyes and sent me on my way. So I finally went out our back door to find something to do. I took a few steps to the front center of my backyard where an old stump stood. I leaned against the stump to try and think of something to do. I still had hours before dinner and no sign of anyone else to play with or to talk to. Then I noticed the stump was quite rough to lean against and wondered if I could sit on top and be more comfortable. I tried and tried to jump on top of the stump but I was not able. Then like a light bulb...

My husband is a stay at home husband and we have a 9 1/2 year old son. My husband simply does not like to sit down at the dining room table and eat with my son and I. He prefers to sit in the living room in front of the tv or in front of the computer in the computer room and eat his dinner while either watching tv or surfing the net. It makes me feel like he is sending us a message that he is too good to sit down and eat with us. He will make exceptions for holiday meals or birthday meals. I have insisted that he sit down and eat with us and told him how it makes me feel, but he tells me that most families don't eat together anymore. I'd love to hear what you all do at meal time and what...

...Eating Styles GREECE In Greece, we eat three times a day, breakfast, lunch, and dinner. For breakfast, most people drink coffee or milk with cereal when they wake up and a croissant or tyropita (it is like a cheese pie one of our favorite). Later, we eat lunch around 14-15 but it is a warm full meal. And then, at night we eat around 9-10 pm maybe something small like a salad or a sandwich but it could be the case that someone will eat again a warm meal or something like pizza, crepe, or pitagyros.
