(12,132 posts)We always go to lunch and I always call my wife and ask her what's for supper. Fancy dinner is fancy and can be any time as long is it's not breakfast.
However, sometimes my wife answers "TV Dinners". :/ I bet I'd at least try a frozen food that called itself TV Supper.

Evening meal is supper, unless it's a formal thing when it's dinner.
