I&#8217;d have a large glass of orange juice and call it good. These days I often treat myself with a bowl of flavored oatmeal, especially in the colder months.<\/p>\n<p>And lunch? I have mixed emotions. I loved when we went out as a team (before I retired). But I had to be careful what I ate. If I splurged on pasta, I&#8217;d often get a midday slump, so I normally stuck to salads or other lighter fare. (Yes, I have figured out it was a symptom of a thyroid problem. It&#8217;s being treated now.) These days, lunch is basically whatever I can grab when I feel like it. Occasionally, the hubby and I will go out for lunch, when the mood strikes us.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pjmaclayne.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/indian-1442878_1280.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-20072\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pjmaclayne.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/indian-1442878_1280.jpg?resize=300%2C169&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pjmaclayne.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/indian-1442878_1280.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pjmaclayne.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/indian-1442878_1280.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pjmaclayne.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/indian-1442878_1280.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pjmaclayne.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/indian-1442878_1280.jpg?resize=622%2C350&amp;ssl=1 622w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pjmaclayne.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/indian-1442878_1280.jpg?resize=150%2C84&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pjmaclayne.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/indian-1442878_1280.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h4>That leaves supper.<\/h4>\n<p>Supper is always an adventure. There are three different dietary issues I have to accommodate. Trying to find one meal plan that suits everyone is basically impossible. So, I end up having a backup for the main dish. I refuse to serve chicken for every meal. Personally, I prefer Italian food. Spaghetti, lasagna, or anything similar. (One member of the household doesn&#8217;t eat any pasta, so<\/p>\n<p>But the best thing about supper is that it signals the end of the day. A time to relax. No rush to get to work or the grandkids to school. A time to sit at the computer and catch up on email or reading.<\/p>\n<p>So, I guess I&#8217;m a dinner person.<\/p>\n<p>How about the other people on this hop? What&#8217;s their favorite meal?
