For the past week, Dad and I have been taking a vacation from work and that usually means we can stay home and sleep all day like the vampires we are. For the past week, my brother, Mom, Dad and I have been eating dinner together at the same time like a normal family does on television. My family and I would do the typical four five dishes on the table with our little bowls of rice on the table and we just quietly eat while we watch television. It may not sound super special, but it was pretty special to me because when I was growing up we had family dinners, but I don't remember much about them. My family and I don't really actively talk, but my mom and Dad have the time to talk and catch up on their stuff now that they are home at the same time for dinner now.
There are some days where not everyone is home, but when Dad and I are home, he is usually pretty excited to make something for dinner.
For this week, one night on top of another dish, he chose to heat up some totinos! And the other night, he made mapotofu. For those who don't know what that is, it is basically like a soft tofu in a spicy sauce kind of dish. I do look forward to see what kind of dishes my Dad will make for dinner because I rarely see him cook and its good to know more about Dad anyways.
Message to all of you who don't eat with your family for dinner. I say eat with them as much as you can, you never know what you will be missing.
