Her favourite dish is roast meat. As she likes to bake, there is always something tasty at home. Our evening meal is usually eaten at 7 o'clock. The main course is often meat with vegetables. Sometimes we eat pizza or pasta with delicious sauce.
We try to eat our main meal together. In our busy lives it is the one time of day when we sit down and have a good talk.
