we always have dinner between 12 and 1. then we snack on teh leftovers all day and night and for the next week. my mom made dinner around 4 last year and it just didnt work out for my family. we were so hungry from smelling it that we started eating and snacking on stuff and werent hungry by the time dinner was done. i like having it around 12-1..i get up, shower and eat. perfect.
