yes; I took my walk and returned home at 4, and we were hungry so it was an easy supper to have ready by 5 or 5:30; already forget timing. I wanted to make pizza but I’ll maybe do it tomorrow or Tuesday for luncheon. Maybe Tuesday as we will have king crab legs on Monday supper so I might want to cook something Asian for my luncheon! Or I might cheat and get a rotisserie chicken because then I can make curried chicken salad for sandwich luncheons for the week.

People of an older generation and more working class background here still refer to dinner as tea and in some rural parts lunch is still called dinner.

I just assumed it's some sort of regional American thing. Supper to me is a light meal you have at a cocktail party etc not dinner.

red king crab legs with optional garnishes
mixed green salad
oven-baked steak fries
raw tofu
slowly and carefully we will have a new trend of people enjoying their luncheons.
do they make miniature tongs for the steak fries?

I also live in California and know & have know many people from SF (where gaobest lives). Never once have I ever heard anyone use the word luncheon unless it was several people and under a more formal or business setting. Even then it is rarely used...more likely "I met some friends for lunch" or " I scheduled lunch with a client".

Just a nice pub dinner at one of my fav local pubs. Had a steak and a beer. We had a nice walk home in perfect Sydney summer weather. Even bought a Frosty Fruit.
I love this little part of the world.
ETA: Sorry for the non-food related pic I was just really enjoying a warm summer night's stroll.

Realised I hadn't had liver for ages, so I'm doing grilled calves' liver with sage, butter and onions tonight. Will accompany with mashed potato and kalettes.
Followed by sliced oranges with pistachios, pomegranate seeds and coconut yoghurt.
