If the weather at my house was conducive to outdoor dining and I had a
deck off my kitchen - I'd be eating outside until it was so cold, I
couldn't. A table is a table, setting it nicely and having whole
family meals around it makes for good childhood memories. My kids are
grown now and they will testify to that.

Practice safe eating. Always use condiments.
