Spanish for breakfast, lunch and dinner, dressed in silk

In Spain we were desperate for breakfast. But couldn't find the word for breakfast. The word was desayuno.

breakfast - desayuno
lunch - almuerzo (z pronounced th) al-moo-er-tho
dinner - cena

My Spanish is not too good, nor is my memory. I might have to skip lunch (almuertho) and wait for dinner - cena.

Dinner is easier to remember. Imagine it is spelled dina, then turn d into c - c e n a . My spellcheck on this site turns the Sanish word for dinner into cent, as in century.

Dinner is pronounced kay - na. Hard c.

What shall I wear for dinner?
seda - silk
silk - seda.

I said seda, silk.
