Thread: Where do you eat dinner???

Tweet

When I saw Don Daltons picture on the screensaver thread, eating in his lounger, it really hit home. I can't remember the last time we ate dinner at our dining room table, we always eat on the coffee table in front of the TV. I bet a good percentage of us do the same thing, and only use the dining room for holidays and when company is over.

So, the question is............where do you eat dinner (or supper, if you prefer) ?

Don

This would be a good thread for lurkers to break the ice and say a few words..........once you start it will be easy to keep posting.

We do the same thing as you! "Supper" in front of the TV! I cannot remember the last time we used the dining room table for a meal! 8-)

X-3, we need to sell the dinning room, make it another man cave....

Boy I guess I'm (we) are alone here.. When I built this place I built it with a dining room it gets used as a sewing , craft ,and what ever room except holidays... We eat at the table in the kitchen, the wife wanted an eatin kitchen so our kitchen is may just a little larger than the dining room. But while sitting at the kitchen table we can see down into the family room to watch the TV.

For me its a toss up, either in front of the tv or computer. Sometimes in the mancave.

I guess we're in the minority, but even when it is the two of us we eat at the table between the kitchen and the great room area. We can see the TV from there, and it is often on during dinner time. If it is me alone I am in the same spot - I never take a plate of food to my recliner - not sure why, just don't do it. We use the dining room table often when the kids & grandkids come for holiday meals, or to celebrate family birthdays. We're very big on family functions (Grandma insists), with everyone getting together at least once a month in addition to a son or daughter coming for dinner occasionally with their spouse/fiance. We're fortunate to have all three kids in the metro area, ranging from 5 to 50 miles away.

We're normal to above average because the Wiffy usually eats in bed watching HLN, HGTV or CNN and I eat sitting in the recliner with a TV tray watching TCM, TVland, RFDTV, or Local News channels

I'm astounded--we finish up our afternoon work and before dinner shower shave, polish my shoes, and put on a dinner jacket with tails--have our small glass of tomato juice, a cup of soup(love clam chower on Fridays), then our salads, before the main course--finish up with just a lite desert since as we are getting older, we need to watch our weight--of course, on the different evenings the different main courses dictate a different wine---Altho there is a tv that is visable in the mirror from around the corner, the sterio is playing some classical instrumental sounds---

Some one better check in on Jerry He must have hit his head today

The kitchen table is where I sit baskets of washed laundy no one wants to put up. I eat in my chair in front of the tv of course. But this has got me thinking. This is all wrong............................ If I moved out that heavy table it would make a good work table and I could store quite a bit of parts on shelves right there. And the door into the garage points straight at that area............................... Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Excuse me I've got to go find my tape measure...............................

Some nights we eat at the shop, cooking brats, hot dogs, or steaks on our gas grille. Last night Don was tired of us holding our plates on our laps so he bought a folding table. It was really strange seeing that table with silverware on a napkin in the middle of the shop. He says now all we need is a candle for the middle of the table.

Jerry, we want a picture of you at dinner, holding a jar of Grey Poupon.
