Lunch in the office, for me, almost always means sitting at the desk. But when working from home, lunch takes on all of these new possibilities:
- At the counter: This sometimes happens when dining alone without a lot of time. At the cutting board, standing up, practically as we get the meal prepared!
- At the desk: Probably a carryover from office lunchtimes.
- At the table: Whether in the kitchen or dining room, lunch at the table feels slower and more indulgent.
- On the floor! I love sitting on the floor at the coffee table, and often end up there with a simple lunch.
- Out of doors: It takes a particularly nice day to end up sitting outside to eat lunch. Maybe I'd do it more frequently if I had a place this nice to partake.
Where do you eat lunch when you find yourself at home for the midday meal?

i have a home business and so often forget to eat because i'm so busy... but i have been really trying to fix something to eat and sit at the kitchen or dining room table to eat it! though, i find it very satisfying sitting on the couch with my feet up on the coffee table with my lunch plate on my lap too... :) (usually while watching the food network on tv!)
I work at home and I make lunch an official pause. I don't look at email, and I don't answer the phone. I prepare my meal, and eat it at the dining room table. When the dishes are done, I have an espresso and get back to work. Doesn't take more than an hour, usually.
I eat lunch from home a couple of days each week - I usually end up sitting at the counter (but we have bar stools!) with my laptop...catching up on blogs. (EXACTLY what I'm doing now!) haha
I live in a teeny NYC apartment and I like to watch TV while I'm eating at home. I have a TV tray table in my room and I eat sitting on my bed all the time. I actually enjoy doing this alot. Just gotta be extra careful with spill and crumbs!
I rarely get the day off so when I do, everything is done from the bed- paying bills, folding towels, surfing the web and eating lunch!
I work from my home and take a very specific lunch break every day. It helps me to stay on-track and structured. In nice weather I really enjoy lunching on the deck. Otherwise, I'll make a pretty tray and eat while watching a favorite on television.
It depends on what I'm eating and if I'm multitasking. Sometimes if I'm packing or cleaning, I'll have my plate on the butcher block and eat bites as I walk by. If I'm working on the computer (which I don't normally do because greasy hands on the keyboard are so gross) or if I'm eating something really messy I'll sit at the diningroom table. Generally I eat on the coffee table, either sitting on the couch or sitting on the floor leaning against the couch, and watch a movie or some TV.
I have the privilege of being able to eat lunch at home every day. My wife is often home, so we eat lunch together at the kitchen table (we don't have a dining room - small house), whether it be curry, sandwiches or somen (cold noodles).
I grew up without the TV going or being allowed to eat in front of the TV and it is a habit I wish to also instill in our kids. Dinner time is especially important to spend at the table because you can all spend time together as a family, without other distractions. :)
Generally I eat at the coffee table and sit on the floor, or I eat outside in the summer.
