I like to fix a big Sunday dinner, and often have children and/or grandchildren and/or neighbors but it is usually not all that much work on Sunday.
Make rolls and pie or cake on Saturday, pehaps even prepare a meatloaf, maybe a jello salad. Sunday morning before church, pop the meatloaf or a roast and potatoes and perhaps a squash in the oven. it all bakes merrily while we are gone (at 300 degrees). When we get home, wrap the rolls in foil to heat, throw some corn peas or beans in the microwave, set the table. Toss a green salad. Half an hour after we walk in the door, a great meal is on the table. Since it was so nice, everyone else volunteers to do dishes, ad I have a lovely afternoon with nothing to fuss about. Just sayin'. I LIKE Sunday dinner.
