Out at the farm for dinner (at noon)--we hear the traditional farm meal schedule: breakfast at dawn; coffee and light lunch at 9AM or so after chores; a big dinner at noon; coffee break at 3 or 4; supper at 6 or so; more chores; another snack/lunch around 8 or 9pm. This pretty much matches Zane's eating patterns.
