Melissa’s Cozy Teacup

Went to a friend’s house yesterday. She lives and hour away in one direction. Whew! It was a meet and greet, possibly going to be called Rural Neighbors, and let me tell you my friends, it is rural! lol

We had a yummy pot roast with veggies. I met some lovely people. I brought a cake that was devoured which is always nice. I hate bringing stuff that isn’t touched.  A few points of interest. One of the fellow there, would dish himself up, then his wife, than set the serving dish down without offering it to anyone else or passing it around. Now, we all should know, that when you dish yourself up, you then pass the serving plate around so that everyone else may serve themselves food, right?

Second point of interest. When setting a table; knife and spoon on the right, fork and napkin on the left.  Water glass on the right, salad bowl/plate either on the dinner plate or on the left with the bread and butter plate.

If however, you sit down to a table that is backwards, or you encounter a dinner companion who forgets to pass the food around, do NOT draw attention to either. Worse still, than their error, would be your error in pointing out their folly.

Be a good guest. Always.
