I voted sit in front of the TV, but I actually don't even do that.

If it is just me, I generally don't eat, or I will make something in the microwave and eat at the computer.   

I voted tv, but since I rarley watch that thing taking up space in the corner its actually a good book I plop down to read while I eat. 

If I want a fine dining experience, I have someone take me to Jack in the Box.  Seriously, I like a nice place with sauce on the food and wine and conservation, but wouldn't waste that on me alone. 

I don't ever, ever eat without reading something during.  60 years ago, when I had to make do with the back of the cereal box (niacin, thiamin and riboflavin), my mom said that when I had my own table I could read when I ate.  So I always do. 

My late husband and I used to go out for Sunday breakfast and sit across from each other reading our sections of the paper.  Soulmates.

I voted at the dining room table. I should note that the living room/dining room is one big room.  But I usually eat at the table (so I don't spill on the sofa! LOL).  And I have a large window overlooking the backyard, so I watch the birds/squirrel etc while I eat.  Nice and relaxing after a hard day.  I also have a large deck where I have a dining set at that I use in the summer & fall.   I'm truly blessed!  (Eating dinner in front of the TV reminds me so much of college and I don't want to go back there! LOL)

Conversation!  I meant conversation.  Conversation about conservation.  I'm too hungry and must eat something now.  Where's my book?

I don't believe in eating at tables.  If I did have one in any of the places that we lived, I'd just put stuff on it, like the computer or plants or jigsaw puzzles.

I believe in armchair dining.  And you have a little endtable in your corner for condiments and reading materials, napkins, a lamp, etc.  In one temporary place we lived in we had no furniture and ate sitting on beanbag chairs along the living room walls.

I do somehow now have a large glass-topped mahagony table with 6 chairs that I somehow bought for some reason, but have never eaten at it and probably never will.  It has various cartons and packing boxes on it.  See Stocking Up.  This is all in keeping with these Weird Single Behavior threads.  I feel like I'm among friends here.

It's nice that you can watch birdlife and so forth while you eat.  I have wrens and such coming and going through the area and pecking at God-knows-what on the sill of the computer room window.  Drive the cat nuts.  And doves that come and take one bite out of a cherry tomato and then go on to the next. 

Once we had an apartment in Ohio on the flightpath of the Monarch butterflies.  We saw them once each way.  That was the best!

As of now me and my mom we both have voted plop in front of the telavision with our dinner and she kicks her hubby out and we both have our mom and daughter day..

I realized afterwards... I should have added "other"... (such as NOT watching tv but reading). Oh well, give people reason to type.

I voted for the fine dining experience. If I'm eating alone I will eat at the kitchen table.  If the weather is nice I might opt to eat at the table on the screened in porch. If I'm eating alone I usually read while I eat.  I don't mind eating in the living room but it's hard to eat, read and keep the dog from stealing your food when your not looking. LOL!
