Sunday Dinner has always been an important part of my family's culture. Even though Sunday is a day of rest, the women folk always seem to work hard to put together especially tasty meals for their families on that day. Sometimes Sunday is the only day my family gets a "clean meal" (in Great-Grandpa Huber lingo).
My favorite Sunday dinner is roast beef and roast pork, mashed potatoes and gravy. When I was a little girl I loved going to my Grandma Huber's house for Sunday dinner for that particular menu. If I close my eyes and think really hard (I know that's not easy) I can imagine the essence of her gravy -- it was sooooo good.
Sunday dinner is now the gathering time for my family. Everyone knows there is an open invitation for dinner sometime between 4:30 and 5:00 every Sunday afternoon. Grandma Petersen usually joins us, too. She says it is the highlight of her week.
In the last month we've added a high chair for Elliott so that means 9 at the table. In addition to good food and good company, there are always many discussion topics, some controversial. But, most of the discussions center on what happened at church and were there any Criddle outbreaks.
