Shrift, I’m sorry about the couch, but I have to admit I started hearing “PIVOT! PIVOT!” in my head and giggling. That’s one of the best Friends episodes ever.

Natter 74: Ready or Not
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
When kids are in school I like to get dinner on the table by 6:30/7 so there's a bit of down time -- or time for homework -- before bed. During the summer it's been more like 7 or even 7:30 for dinner.
I eat between 4 and 6, usually, because I am hungry by then, dammit. Also, I am done with work (or supposed to be) at 3:30, so my whole day is kind of shifted.
My coworker just said he was "OK. Better than bad" and I really want to sing "It's Log" at him but I don't think he would get the reference.
At home? Dinner time is whenever we feel hungry, and is utter dependent on the previous meals of the day. When I was growing up, 6pm or as close thereto as my mother's work schedule allowed. At the houses where I work, we generally aim to eat around 5pm (day programs tend to have lunch at 11-11:30am).
It's very frustrating to me that one of my favorite restaurants closes between lunch and dinner so I can't just swing by on my way home from work.
I eat dinner as soon as possible, generally 6:00-6:30. This is why I almost never cook dinner. I might heat something up, but hardly ever cook something that takes more than 10 minutes.
It's not a disaster, but I just really wanted to have a couch today. I have nothing to sit on.
Also, when I moved to Boston, I spent a few days sitting on a sofa I made of empty boxes. So that's a thing!
With regard to dinner, I am Jesse. ASAP! I am not sure what I would do if I had a family who wanted something cooked, because I am HANGRY by the time I get home.
What dishes did you end up with, shrift?
