Sitting down to eat in our house is about sharing, you know, talking about the day you've had, be it in school or work or whatever, so that's very important to us.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It's not always possible to sit down and eat at home in this day and age of fast-paced living, but if you are going to eat out, do so as a family and support all the great local places in your areas. I'll still eat at the same diner I did as a kid with my parents.
I don't sit down and have meals too often, unless I go out for dinner.
Normally, I like to eat at home. We don't go out much. The food at home is so good.
We're social beings, and food is one of the things we can use three times a day to connect with family or with friends.
We love to be with our family and friends and I can tell you that lots of eating will be involved.
This is what a family is all about - one another, sitting around the table at night. And it's very, very important, I think, for the kid to spend time not only around the table eating with their parents, but in the kitchen.
I go to eat dinner with my folks when I'm home. I think that's the trick.
It's important for me who is at the table with me; the moment when everyone speaks to each other and everyone listens. If there's good food, it's much better.
In the right circumstances, I'm a big fan of eating alone. Often, on a Sunday evening, I go to a yoga class whose charm is largely that it gives me an alibi to avoid cooking family supper for once. I return to have boiled eggs and soldiers in silence with a book. Bliss.
I never eat at home. Dinner is my time to be social and catch up with people.
