Food: It's what's for Dinner.

Dinner is suddenly a very important subject the minute you get married.

And it may be that it's not suddenly important to you, but it is to others and their constant questioning about your nightly eating habits brings the whole thing to a sharply focused perspective.

In the past month I've been asked more times then I care to count what we've been doing for dinner. Never is there any care shown for breakfast (THE most important meal of the day) or lunch-no one ever asks what you scarfed down in the middle of the day-no it's all dinner.

What are you making?
Who's doing the cooking?

The questions are sudden and often perplexing. No one ever cared what I ate for dinner when I was single, and the nightly eating thing didn't just become a habit, it's been around for a long time.

So...

Dinner is being served, don't worry.

As is breakfast and lunch, thank you very much.

Oh, this whole topic is so real-life -- I just laughed, and laughed!
Thanks for bringing people back to reality :-)
