What Time Do You Eat Holiday Dinner?

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Darwin Oh five point seven in West Michigan's Christmas station.
Good morning at Schmitty. Here's the deal. So obviously, welcome
to Thanksgiving Week, and if you are planning to host
on Thursday, I may be changing your entire schedule. I've
seen so many people online posting this. Martha Stewart joined
the Today Show a few days ago, and the Queen
of Homemaking Holidays has given her two cents on when

(00:23):
Thanksgiving dinner should be served. And I was not surprised
by this. Two o'clock in the afternoon. People are hungry
and they're starting to circle the kitchen. That's true. You know,
if you have a bunch of guests and you don't
want to wait till nighttime, you can eat and then
watch the big games, you know, and then have more
drinks and have fun. I love that, and eat dessert later. Okay,

(00:46):
So here's my question. Were there a lot of you
having Thanksgiving dinner at dinner time? Because everyone on line's like,
oh my gosh. I never would have guessed that. Da
da da. I want to say, since I was like
a baby, if I could even remember back then, we've
always done holiday meals in the middle of the day,
Like our Thanksgiving dinner is one or two o'clock. When

(01:07):
we go to my parents all of us for Christmas,
they're like, you know, Christmas dinner two thirty. I think
it's weirder that people would eat a holiday meal that
late in the day. And I understand maybe you're like
having family come in from different places so you want
to be all together. But we do like an appetizer
situation that starts at like ten or eleven in the morning,

(01:28):
and then we have the dinner and then we have
like second dinner, dessert, maybe third dinner at like nine.
I mean, I'm eating all day, you guys. It's like
that saying you can't drink all da if you don't
start in the morning. You can't stuff your face all day.
If you're not up and at and at seven ready
to put all the carbs down. I don't know when
are you serving your dinner? When are you doing this?

(01:50):
I also think it's more stressful for whoever is involved,
because you can serve the dinner at too, and then
it's like you're good. Someone else does the dishes. You did,
all all the cooking, you did, all the preparation. You
just sit to your fine back end on that comfy
couch and have some early pumpkin pie? Is that just me?
Four five one oh five seven? What is your family's

(02:11):
food tradition? When are you eating the meal? Am? I?
Are we eating too much? Because I gonna tell you
my Thursday morning, it's gonna be waking up. I'm gonna
put on the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade, and then I'm
immediately gonna start with the little baby weenies that my
mom makes with her homemade sauce, and then from there,
it's just a Schmorgsborg of good food decisions. Give me

(02:32):
a call. You can use our talk back inside our
free iHeartRadio app. Just hit that red microphone button, send
me a voice memo, West Michigan's Christmas station. It's Star
one oh five point seven. Good morning, it's Schmidty. Welcome
to Monday. I laughed because we were talking about what
time you're gonna serve your Thanksgiving dinner. Because Martha Stewart,
Queen of All, has said two pm is the best time.

(02:53):
Everyone's hungry, they're gonna be circling the kitchen. You might
as well get the food out as quickly as possible.
But when you talk about especially pairs of littles that
are trying to host this Thursday. I got this call
from Sherry, and it's perfect. My kids turn into a loud,
tiny anarchists after five thirty. If I don't eat before
they do, I'm basically trying to chew my food during

(03:14):
a small riot. Oh if we don't laugh, we'll cry.
Thanks for the call, Sherry. Coming up next, gonna send
you to Maroon five. They are playing at Little Caesar's
Arena tomorrow night, and your chance to win is right
after Pentatonics
