Dining table help 2Qs please

If not then no bother,…

At the last minute I threw in some walnuts I found in my cupboard. The…

Serving meals, plated? serving bowls?
I'm interested in what others do about serving food. We like to eat together (me, OH & my elderly Dad) and now I'm back home full time (I've been working away all week) it's fairly obvious to me that OH and Dad eat too much when I put the food in serving bowls on the table (I may do as well :p ) It leaves me with a bit of…
