My mealtimes vary wildly with my work/rehearsal schedule, but it's not uncommon for my first meal of the day to be 2-3pm. I value sleep over breakfast (unless you count coffee).
Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I'm a grazer by nature, so I usually have two (small) breakfasts.

Evening, definitely. Then again, with my screwed-up schedule I find it very hard to fit lunch in, so when I do have it I don't really have the time or organization for it to be big.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, the typical US pattern is increasingly large meals through the day, so dinner is the biggest. I think I'm more even, but breakfast is usually the smallest.

Oh man. I wish I hadn't had dinner out last night. And I wish I didn't have leftovers that need eating in my fridge at home.

Dinner is generally the "main" meal of the day in the US.

We could use a vw too. It's warmer here and she could make lunches for cute kids.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
When I was a kid, the three meals were breakfast, lunch and dinner. But they could also be breakfast, dinner and supper. Which could be confusing, as dinner could be two different things.
Anyone else have the dinner=2nd meal, supper=3rd meal thing?

I think we would not eat a big dinner if we ate it at 10pm. Because we eat it at 6 or 7 (unless you're me), it's not as weird.
My problem is how easy it is to skip lunch, and consequently how hard it is to muster the energy to care about anything at 4pm. This would be why I keep snacks in my office -- peanut butter crackers keep the business world moving.

I have a plan.
Dinner and supper were always the same thing in my house. For me, the biggest meal of the day is whenever I feel the need for a big meal, usually that's around lunch time.
And hi everybody, how you doing?
