CONFESS!!! When eating at home, where do you eat?

[flvegan]

Do you have a dining room table, and is it a Cleaver-esque gathering (parents and kids, etc)? Breakfast bar/nook? Eat-in kitchen? Do you use tv trays? Squat on the floor? At a desk/counter where the computer is? Are all your meals in transit (car/subway/bus/train)? Are you a performing seal that simply has fish thrown to you for doing a backflip and slapping your flippers together?

We all want to know. No, honest, we do. What say you, DU?

[LeftyMom]

1. Usually sitting on LK's bed in front of my laptop

:hi: Morning! :*

[Midlodemocrat]

2. Okay, I'll bite.

Get it? I'll bite. I kill myself.

Anyhoo. I usually eat lunch at my desk or out to lunch if my husband is home.

Dinner is at the table with the fam.

Breakfast. Don't usually eat it. Usually just mega cups of coffee to jump start the AM.

[azmouse]

3. Kitchen table for most meals.

Holidays, special occasions or when guests are visiting we eat in the dining room.

[Texasgal]

4. My Mom used to make

my brother and I eat in the bathroom when we didn't behave. :(

That sucked.

[flvegan]

7. Bet you ate a LOT of meals in there.

Just going with what seems to be obvious, here.
*snicker*

[Texasgal]

11. Oh yeah...

You have got me pegged! :P

[QMPMom]

41. It was the laundry room for us!! We'd get shipped off there and

have to stand in front of the washer or dryer and eat if we misbehaved. Or, I should say, if my biological-so-called-mother said we did.

[Rabrrrrrr]

5. It's just me, and I eat at the dining room table.

Sometimes, though, like if I have pizza, I eat on the couch.

I do try, at mealtime, to actually sit down, relax, and focus on the meal (though I might read or watch TV at the time). I don't like to make a plate of food and nibble on it while working or running around or just stand at the kitchen sink and fill my belly.

I like to make meal time a special time.

[seemunkee]

6. Kitchen table

The dining room table is just the way station for everything that walks in the door and needs to be put away.

[flvegan]

8. And THAT, my friend, is Reason #1 why I don't own one.

It also would take up vital dog space.

[youthere]

24. Ours used to be like that too...

I found a great way to overcome the dining room dumping spot syndrome..at least it worked for us...I cleaned the table off and then set it. Placemats, nice napkins and the good plates. We use them every night for supper, even if we're just having take-out pizza. Soon as they come out of the dishwasher they go right back on the table. The table always looks nice and we actually eat together as a family (for at least one meal).

[seemunkee]

33. That would work

but then where am I supposed to put all the crap?

[youthere]

40. LOL..

On the kitchen counter of course!

[texanwitch]

9. I have my Grandparents old round table that can expand,

I eat, pay bills, and keep the lap top their.

My Mother grew up with that table, so another generation is using the table.

[LeftyMom]

10. No oral sex jokes yet?

That's it, I'm firing all of you and getting a new lounge. :grr:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

26. I'm sorry. I have a headache today.

[LeftyMom]

36. Okay, you're excused. I'm still mightily dissapointed in flvegan though. nt

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

43. So am I. There is no excuse for him.

[bigwillq]

12. Either at kitchen table

or in my bedroom.

[windlight]

13. on the computer

whether it be at work or at home.... i'm always close to my computer....

[miss_american_pie]

14. Dining room table

We don't have a table in the kitchen.

[Phillycat]

15. On my bed, in front of the TV, when I'm alone.

At my kitchen table when I have company.

[fizzgig]

16. on my couch

i don't have a kitchen/dining room table as i have no dining room and my kitchen is too small for a table. my family always ate in the living room unless it was a holiday but we weren't the family that just zoned into the tv, we were always talking.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

17. As you will discover when you visit, my dear flvegan...

We eat at the dining room table!

There is no table in the kitchen, and we just always eat in the dr!

When we were designing the house, the architect kept drawing in a breakfast nook in the kitchen...

And I kept erasing it out........

I did finally prevail.....as you will see!

I rarely eat anything in front of my computer....sometimes I'll drink my coffee there........

:hi:

[BarenakedLady]

18. Depends

I don't eat breakfast.

Lunch is usually here in front of the computer.

Dinner is at the table with my family, though two of my kids sit at the counter.

[RebelOne]

19. On the coffee table in front of the TV. n/t

[NewWaveChick1981]

20. Usually on the coffee table in front of the TV.

But that's not my choice. Hubby is an artist, and our kitchen table is covered with his art supplies and everything. It's the largest flat work surface we have, and needless to say, it's not very aesthetically pleasing when he's around. :( I'd love it if he'd find another place in the house to do that, but there isn't really anywhere else he can go.

[catmandu57]

21. At the dining room table

It's something I enjoy, even though it's just the two of us. Sometimes I'll have a snack at the computer, but when it comes to eating time it feels better to sit together at the table.

[youthere]

22. We have a small table in the kitchen where the kids eat

breakfast, lunches and snacks. On the weekends when Mr.Youthere is home we eat lunch out there.During the week I eat lunch usually in front of the computer while I work.

Supper is ALWAYS eaten in the dining room. No exceptions. We never eat in the living room, except for maybe popcorn once in awhile.

[Zavulon]

23. Yet another vote for the coffee table in front of the TV. (NT)

[MissMillie]

25. computer table

or in the living room

[trof]

27. In bed, on trays, watching TV.

Can't remember when that started. Since we became empty nesters about 13-14 years ago, I guess.

[tigereye]

28. living room

not that we don't have a fine dining room table, but the guys don't seem to want to eat there. We use it only for special occasions. :shrug: I know, we are slugs.

and you can't watch sci-fi shows at dinnertime at the dining room table! :oops:

[Little Wing]

29. at home

[RetroLounge]

30. When I eat at the house, it's the kitchen table

When i eat at my apartment, it's the dining room table.

[LSK]

31. kitchen table

But I have the laptop on the kitchen table and its strategically placed to view the TV. :)

[ganeshji]

32. I usually eat on the front steps to my house.

I have some birds and cats that come by to share meals with me.

[schmuls]

38. Wow! That is cool

[trackfan]

34. Dining room table

[terrya]

35. I have a small apartment. I eat in the living room.

I have a small apartment...there's no room in the kitchen for a table and chairs. So, I eat in the living room...usually at the computer. :-)

[schmuls]

37. I pull up a hard chair or recliner to the edge of my favorite table.

In the am I watch Buffy and drink Joe and eat eggs and hashbrowns and in the pm I eat vegetarian food and watch HGTV, old movies and sometimes the news.

[SKKY]

39. In the Living Room on the coffee table...

...but we have have a whole routine how that makes it seems like a regular kitchen table, so I don't feel so bad.

[Broken_Hero]

42. in the living room

usually sitting on the couch, using the coffee table...:)

[texas1928]

44. At home.

What do you think it means to eat at home?


SHEEEESH



:P

[Ramsey]

45. Several options

Breakfast room
Kitchen bar
Dining Room
Family room (in front of the TV)
Sitting room (in front of the other TV)
Pool deck

We most often eat at the smaller round table in the breakfast room. But that table only has 3 chairs, so if we have guests we eat at the big table in the dining room. If it's nice out and not too dark, we'll eat out on the pool deck at the patio table. If we are watching a movie, then we might eat on the family room couch off of trays. We actually rarely eat in the sitting room, because it's on the second floor. And we often have our morning coffee and cereal at the kitchen bar.

After all, variety is the spice of life :-)

[Nikia]

46. We now have a dining room table

For some reason though, my eating disorder makes it hard to eat. In order to eat a proper meal, it is much easier to eat in front of the computer. It annoys my husband but he'd rather me eat healthy instead of looking like a skeleton.

[TommyO]

47. Coffee Table in Living Room for the most part

Sometimes at the computer.

I just moved into a bigger place and have been dining table-less for over two years. Now that I have a proper dining room and a very large kitchen, the first major purchase will be a kitchen island and four stools for casual dining. I'm not big on formal dining, but a small dining table will appear at some point as well.

[TheCentepedeShoes]

48. LR in front of KO

at 7 central, with the doggie drooling for a bite. Tonight it's Chinese takeout, being kept warm in the oven. Dining room table holds left over newspapers and junk mail, gets used on Thanksgiving and Christmas.
