In the past I have seen people talk of the Sunday roast or Friday fish as if it is some great cultural tradition. We have started doing similar things. I think that it is other drivers. Tradition is just blindly following on from what those before you have done. But really pragmatism is a better driver.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Following a routine makes things simpler and easier. So, shopping is simpler if you buy a similar set of food each week.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">On the week days we are time poor compared to the weekends. So simple easy to prepare dishes are better for the week days. Complex or long-time-to-make dishes fit into the time schedule better on the weekends.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Finally, some predictability is good. So we eat some dished pretty much each week. But also variety is good but in two ways. We need a variety of food stuffs, but the can be cycled through. We also need new foods and dishes. I guess after a while some may become staples. This will happen to prevent a fish from being eaten so much you become sick of it. And also, as the kids get older their likes will change.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/yewenyi\/7031527015\/in\/photostream\/lightbox\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/yewenyi.net\/wpblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/20120408-034130.jpg\" alt=\"20120408-034130.jpg\" width=\"360\" height=\"482\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We have started living together.
