A Dining Table

Do you have a dining table?

I do not have one. Is it nice? I want to have one for my small family one day.

I believe that having a dining table complete a part of my life as partly housewife. I can imagine myself cooking breakfast and dinner for my husband and daughter. Plating the food, I cooked on the table beautifully, so that it could arouse their appetite before they even taste it. I am not a good cook, but I also believe that a dining table could motivate myself to learn more cuisine and make my own kitchen as good as eating in a restaurant.

Some family may have rules like ‘Do not speak while you are eating’ but I prefer to hear my family laughing out loud even on the dining table. A dining table is like a meeting place where each member of the family gathers and see each other after a long day of minding own business. A place where stories of the day are told and shared to the other members.

A place that can carve pleasant smile (CPS) on everyone face. It might also be a place where an argument may happen, but with good leadership, an argument can be turned into a discussion. A good one. It can also be a place where each family comfort each other and boost up some spirit after a bad day.

That is the meaning of a dining table for me. Other than a place to eat, it can be a place for the start of something new, a place for gathering. A place where I can see my family face after a long day of work.

Yes, of course, I can see them at home, but a dining table is more convenient. Who does not want to eat, especially if there are nice cooked food on the table?
