Most of our meals are eaten in front of the tv as well. But occassionally we do the table thing. Like if we're having a "real" meal. That's hard to explain, but some may know what I'm talkin about.

Good heavens Mama Mangia..... I can't imagine living that way. Although, when it's how you're raised, I'm sure it seems like there's no other way to do it. You do on occassion remind me of Sophia. LOL Where do you live???

We serve straight from the stove . Tiny house, tiny kitchen, usually at that point the counter is full of dirty dishes so the stove it is!

It depends, if there is a lot of food we usually just get up and go back to the counter (never stops me from getting seconds..lol). If we have enough that will fit on the table so we can move comfortably, that's where it goes.

Though, might have to start just leaving it all on the counter because my daughter decided she likes the way the food tastes out of the bowels/dishes than on her own plate. :p

rt49 - sounds medevial doesn't it????

actually - it was normal for us all to eat together, stay together, enjoy each other - it was real family time - no TV, radio or phones - just family talk and it was nice - no one had to get up from the table until they were done -

Sophia - LOL - I feel older than her today though!

I'm in NY for now - where are you?

We always serve from the stove. It's just my wife and I so, we don't get too fancy. We do cook almost every day. I like fresh cooked foods. I eat leftovers for lunch, but I really like a fresh made meal for dinner.
