Food and I

Being together for dinner in my family is very important. It was always something that my mother felt strongly about and had a strong belief that if a family that eats together, stays together. My mom would cook dinner every night and my siblings and I would make sure that we made home for whatever was in the oven that night. Every night it was something good. From a delicious pot roast to, my personal favorite, steak. Even as my siblings were going off to college, we still had these family dinners with whoever was still at home.

Although every night was great, Sundays were ALWAYS the best. Sundays were always so relaxing. All my family and I would do on Sundays is sit on the couch and watch football. My mom would be in the kitchen at half time cooking appetizers so that we all had something to munch on while we watched our Detroit Lions go on to blow the game in the fourth quarter like always.

Not only was the dinners themselves great but, also the conversations were always nice. My mom would always ask how our day was, what we did, did we learn anything at school today, and if anything interesting happened today. Aside from the normal dinner conversations, there was always the ones that were interesting to say the least. For example, during dinner one night the topic of , if you could be any famous person who ever lives who would it be?

Eating dinner together as a family has always been a staple value in my up bringing. This is something that I will bring into my family when I am fortunate enough to have my own someday and something that I hope my children are able to pass along to their own children.
