FOOD, FAMILY, FUN,EAT TOGETHER

I love the new ads encouraging families to eat together. Sitting down around a dinner table
with many generations brings back my memories of childhood. Often exended family joined the major events. Then there could be the Kids' table. Fund to be away from the adults. Yes eating is nourishment that helps sustain us. However it has been shown that eating together is very social too. Eating alone often makes the meals not very enjoyable! Studies have shown with the elderly in hospital or  nursing homes eat more and better when someone eats with them. I know there are busy schedules but making an effort in the week for more dinners or breakfasts together brings the family closer. At our house when the grandchildren visit or sleep over we sit as a group to eat. One of my granddaughters remarked during one visit that she liked it with the grandparents at each end and the kids along the sides. The conversation can be interesting too. So making regular efforts to eat with family is good. The TVshow Blue Bloods has an ongoing theme of the family having Sunday dinner. A little old fashioned but what old is new again. So when is your next family or friends' dinner?
