At one time my girlfriend's house had this really cozy kitchen, table and stools all around. Everyone would always end up there, and there would always be something to eat or drink. The table doubled as counter to to prepare food on, and for eating, with a big bread slicer on one side (electric, with no guard on the spinning blade). We'd spend hours there chatting, drinking, eating having fun. Just opposite was a tiny room with a fireplace, tiny sofa and a tv, which you might watch if you were just cooking. It absolutely was the heart and soul of the house.
