Excerpt from Sunday Night Suppers
In most homes the Sunday night supper is a compromise. Like the majority of compromises, it satisfies no one. It is an attempt to serve God and Mammon, respectively represented by the family's desires and the cook's preferences, and is thoroughly acceptable to neither. The members of the household, no matter how substantial the midday meal with which they have overtaxed the digestions accustomed to a light luncheon, fed a hollow void, a dismal craving, as the hour approaches when dinner is usually served on the unhallowed days of the week. The spirit is willing to keep the Sabbath, but the flesh is weak. Despite long once-a-weekly training, it yearns for something better than it has known on most preceding Sunday nights.
