Folks have been wondering if there's a time limit for voter #1 to claim a TFH
prize, where after any voter can claim it? How about 10 seconds? <VBG>

I looked for the words, "jug of wine," but I didn't see it in the question.
I didn't think it qualified, so I had to vote "no."

I don't always have a beverage with my dinner. Maybe once a month I have a
coke with a hamburger. I am more likely to have a beer with it, and
definitely a beer with Buffalo wings. The most common dinner drink for us
is wine. We used to leave the bottle on the table but we have slowed down
on the wine intake so usually just have a glass of it.

Wine by the box is acceptable at my table any time o' day! <G>

My first time at my Sis-In-Law's summer house, there was a dinner triangle
and rod to call for dinner hanging on the kitchen wall. Well, while she was
making breakfast I picked it up and rang it to wake up the house. She
scolded me (if looks could kill!!!), I thought for no good reason, but it
had a different meaning. All the house came down and they all started
making drinks! At 9am. How was I supposed to know??? The day was a goner!

My Sis-In-Law never liked me.

I think a jug of wine qualifies under "some other drink", Dee Dee.

Can't agree. The question was:

For family dinners, do you have a pitcher of cold
water, iced tea or some other *such* drink on your
dinner table?

Speaking only for myself (and maybe Dee Dee), I took
that to preclude beer, wine, gin etc. Perhaps the Chatty
person will offer her understanding of this.

I always have tea - all day. A coke is never in my thoughts. John just
bought a case of http://www.widmer.com/beer_hefeweizen.aspx
yesterday. This is one of the beers I like. I am not a beer person - DH
is.

Wine is always my choice with dinner. Sometimes just a wee glass. Other
times as we sit around after a long dinner, the bottle then sits on the
table.

The only relevant portion of the question as I read it is "do you have
a *pitcher* on the table"... doesn't matter a fiddler's bippee what's
in it, could be koolade, buttermilk, sangria, whatever... so long as
it's in a pitcher.

Anyone who answered to the contents but doesn't have a pitcher on the
table is either lying, functionally illiterate, both.

Dee Dee,

Picture grown men and a few wives/girlfriends, one eye open, hung-over, in
pajamas with cocktails in hand and guns everywhere!?? Quite a happy bunch
we were!!! SIL threw in the towel and slapped a bowl of eggs and toast and
butter on the table and joined us.

If murder was legal, SIL would've shot me, or the lot of us (me first).

I rarely drink tea. I like it, but it does bad things to me. As I said,
Coke with a burger about once a month. I only eat hot dogs once every year
or two, but I admit to having an instant craving for Coke when I have one.
I don't drink lot of beer, but when I do it is usually imported. Not only
do I find them better tasting than most of the domestics, but a lot of them
are cheaper than domestics.

It depends on what I am eating. I like white wine with fish, and I can't
imagine steaks or lamb without wine. With chicken I can have either, or no
wine. For spicy foods I prefer beer.

There's only two possible answers... Yes or No. And that's all that's
necessary for "Do you have a pitcher on the table".

The survey doesn't ask to be specific as to what's in teh pitcher,
gives a fes possibilities but could be anything.. even empty so long
as there's a pitcher on the table. I answered no becaue I never have
a pitcehr on the table, in fact I don't think I own a pitcher... I
have three watering cans! LOL

Anyone know what the thingie with holes is called? It's called a
"watering rose"... years ago there were small roses that fit a soda
bottle, used to sprinkle clothes before the days of steam irons.

We use a pitcher once per year, on Christmas morning. My mother
started a tradition of orange juice and fresh blueberry muffins each
year before we would open presents. We (DH, DS, & I) still do, using
the same pitcher and mug set that belonged to my dad's mom. I keep
wondering if I should get rid of it (I need hutch space), since I
only use it once per year. I probably won't...

We don't eat family-style (we plate the food in the kitchen and put
it on the table), so while we usually do drink something with
dinner, it's usually water, and it's usually in glasses, not in a
pitcher on the table. If there's buttermilk or juice, Carin and I
will sometimes have that. James goes for water, coffee, or diet soda.

I voted no... but only because we don't use a pitcher! Each person at
the table gets a glass of something to wash their food down with. I
usually have plain water, John likes flavoured stuff eg. a can of
soda.

See, it depends. Family dinners that are cookouts will have people
drinking sodas or whatever that they get themselves. The big
Thanksgiving feed will have pitchers of water.

Yep, and if I just made iced tea or something, I'm likely to put it
on the table in a pitcher just in case.

Totally agreed!

You could try a Syrah (Europe), or Shiraz (Australia and NZ), it has a spicy
nose to it and goes very well with spicy dishes. Kebab is the first which
comes to mind, but also tasty and spiced meats in general. If you happen to
find it there's also Pollino, a red wine from Calabria with a distinctive
trait of black pepper both at the nose and at the mouth: being little known,
it still has a very good quality / price ratio.

It was pretty much my understanding, as well. When I think of "family
dinners" I'm picturing people with under-age children. While that doesn't
mean the adults can't have a glass of wine or beer with their meal, the way
the question was phrased didn't fit my image of a "family dinner". We
always had milk or ice water, never iced tea. Mom broke out some gawd awful
sweet wine at Thanksgiving and Christmas and once we were over age 16 we
were allowed to have a glass (but the stuff was horrible).

There ya go. Even the defination of family dinner is in hot debate.
For me, a family meal is one at home with people who are related to me
in some way. In any case, no matter how "family meal" is defined or
how "drink" is defined, my answer remains the same.

In the context of the question, I interpreted "family dinner" to mean
dinners consumed by my family, which is my husband and me.

We each get a glass of ice water in the kitchen while we're plating
our
food. Then we bring everything to the living room and eat dinner off
the coffee table. He watches television, and I usually read. The
dining
table is where he parks his briefcase after work.
