The science of good eating has become my study. As a hip chick from the Midwestern region of our country, I am accustomed to the evening meal at 6 pm. Quite frankly, I would skip the entire thing and eat a rather large meal at noon every day if I could! This is not how we operate today.
We waken, have our coffees, a little nibble, head out for an adventure late morning. “Lunch” is around two, but always before three, since most food establishments close from three to five. We continue to try new cuisines and dishes in this food-driven culture. Therefore, one is not remotely hungry until around eight in the evening. Thus, we have learned the Italian way of dining. We are so fashionable, we almost blend in.
We just need to ditch the white socks and tennis shoes – at least for the evening meal.
