Good Table Manners

i hate eating at formal dinners with multiple forks and when you have to put your napkin on your lap and everything has to be perfect ....no slurping your soup....with your best clothes on...that you worry about spilling something on..

I can see that we "eat alike."

BUT. I'm just as likely to grab "any" fork as the "proper" fork

Another thing that gripes my *** is all these "cooking" shows that worry way too much about (gag) "presentation" while NOT "presenting" any actual food

This is my idea of a girlfriend who's "dressed for dinner"
