[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I suppose you all use the good china, fine linens and polished silver on weekdays, too.  This is all a little too June Cleaver for me.  I imagine you all in an apron, waiting for DH to get home from work.  The rest of us have a life.[/quote]

This is a very bizarre comment.  We don't use good china, fine linens & polished silver on weekdays, but we do use real plates, cloth napkins and flatware.

I work full-time and it takes about a half-hour to make dinner each night.  It is far healthier and far cheaper than any takeout or prepared/frozen options.  To me, it is akin to showering, blow-drying my hair, making my bed, doing laundry, etc.  Just another household task, and not optional.

What part of that boggles the mind?[/quote]

I agree.  It is June Cleaver to eat well?  What the hell do you propose-pizza or frozen crap, or MCDs?  Fast food in our house is pasta tossed with olive oil, parm a salad and good bread.  Which btw is a great dinner but seriously 15 minutes total.  The reality it is that good food is simple food.  It doesn't take much time to roast some veggies, grill a protein, cut up a salad etc. etc  It is more a matter of planning.[/quote]
