Can Tamsulosin Be Taken In The Evening?

I am taking Tamsulosin 0.4 mg. Instructions say to take after the same meal every day ( 30 minutes after that meal ). The evening meal is the main meal I eat every day; however, when eating out somewhere (which we do quite often) it may be quite a while before getting back home where the medicine is. Would it be okay to just take a capsule at bedtime each night (much easier to remember and the medicine is right there on the counter top)?
