But of course !!!!!!!! When Green24ford mentioned TV trays, that is probably what started the whole thing of families eating in front of the tube. We had those in the 50's and I watched my Saturday morning cartoons on one.

my fiance and i try to always sit down at the dinner table for the evening meal.
it gives us a chance to really talk.

We eat in the kitchen, but we can see the TV.

When my boys were still living at home we always set at the dinner table. After they moved out the wife and I started setting in front of tv trays watching TV while eating. After she moved out I either eat in the garage while working on something or eat out then come back to the garage to work on stuff.

Now thats GRAY poupon

Don our kitchen is one big great room with a dining room table in the middle and a living room just to the other side, so we eat at the table, but usually do so watching a movie or tv.

When the bride is away I'll eat in front of the boob toob most of the time. When she's at home we try to take time to spend together talking about stuff. I find too that it's easier to slow down, eat slightly smaller portions, if we're at the dining area table rather than hunched over the table in front of the TV.

In the dog house most nights...

Most nights we sit in the family room, me in the recliner the wife on the sofa. We will watch a library loaner DVD of some past series, i.e. MI5/Bones/Mentalist If relatives or friends show up, we do breakfast and lunch at the kitchen table and supper in the "formal" dining room. If I'm home alone, anywhere it's comfortable, but often at the 'puter desk. If my wife is home alone - not a clue, but would bet in front of the tube

We sit at the table. We start with drinks. I usually have coffee & Cheryl has Pepsi or Pink Lemonade. We have a salad, me with French or Western & Cheryl with 1,000 Island. I'll have a medium well sirloin or ribeye, Cheryl has shrimp. No dessert usually as we are both so full we have to have someone else clear the table for us.
But, on the nights we don't eat out I dine at my desk since I'm either on the computer or still working or both. I built slide out boards in the office desk above each column of drawers One gets pulled out for the main course another for a drink. The drink board also holds wrappers for those times I let Subway or Mikey D do the cooking.

We fit the modern norm, I guess; about 98% of the time we dine in the family/living room in our respective easy chairs. About the only time the dining room table(s) get cleared off and put to proper use is when we have a bunch of company; the rest of the time, they are piled with projects and other such non-gustatory business. We eat out once a week or so.

Well now.If at all goes to the plan,I eat dinner at your house as part of the world tour "where in the world is Gary"?!!!.I just show up around dinner time hoping you don't have a big dog.

Come on over, the cat's don't bite and we will even give you control of the remote.
