Extremely Average #128: Happy Mother's Day

I can understand not involving breakfast and brunch, but how did you avoid the age old question of dinner or supper.

Supper is metric.

hey brian if i may. the way it was explained to me while living on a large cattle ranch in montana some many moons ago.
when noon time came around we would head in to the main ranch house where a sweet old lady that had been the cook at the ranch for most of her 80 years as well as her mother before was the cook there she explained to me that we were eating dinner and supper was the meal that was eaten in the evening time.the word lunch was a european name if i remember right came from the french.i could be wrong though.this was a homesteaded ranch and the original brothers were welsh and to this day the same family still ownes this ranch.i spent many years on this ranch and every day was a learning experiance in history.i do have to say that i dont think the terms dinner and lunch have any thing to do with volume because every meal there was enough food on the table to feed a small army and you never went away from the table hungry.

Tunk Valley Custom Woodwork,

I suspect you are correct about the volume, and that is why I chose to mock my mother. She told me that she very much enjoyed the blog post and the mocking. I will pass your story on to her, she will like it.
