Supper Time!

We're created a collection of all of our supper time favorites to keep your weeknights stress free and delicious. That is unless you are an avid watcher of C-Span, as I am, in which case it's just delicious.

Fish sticks, pot pies, parms and more. We'll add to it week to week so keep your eyes peeled while you're perusing the site.

Is there something you would like to see included? Let us know and we'll try to hunt it down for you.

Have a great day.... wait. What? What's that you said? You're dying to know more about the etymological origins of the word "supper" and how it deviates from the more often used "dinner".

I thought you would never ask.

The word "dinner" has been kicking around since the 1200's and points back to the Latin disjejunare, meaning to break one's fast. Dinner, the day's main meal, was often served in the middle of the day for folks working long hours in fields and farms.

Supper, comes from the Old French "souper" a noun referring to an evening meal. Word on the linguistic nerd street is that that is also where we get the word "soup."

(This is all coming together and this rabbit hole is very cozy.)

Louis XIV of France, the Sun King, used to have dinner and at noon and supper at 10pm and members of the court were often invited to witness his meals- which is not creepy at all.

Up until the 1940's in the US the midday meal was still referred to as dinner, until lunch came onto the scene and took over the lexicon.

And all of this brings us to our next existential question: should we be calling it "Family Supper?"

Either way, your evening meal is ready and waiting for you.

Have a great weekend, everyone.

Erin, Joe and the Family Supper/Dinner Team

Recipes

Salmon Teriyaki Bowls - Not quite as quick and easy as the prepared tasties mentioned above but not too far off.

Curried Parsnip & Apple Soup - Really like the idea of the curry in those classic soup.

Pork Tenderloin with Blueberry-Bacon Barbecue Sauce - These pork tenderloins from our buds at Short Creek Farm are delicious. This sauce puts it over the top.
