A Random Person Puts Your Napkin in Your Lap

 

First of all, I'm wondering why it is customary to put our napkins in our laps when we eat.  Supposedly, one reason is to protect your clothing from spills.  But... I usually get stuff on my shirt when I spill, not my lap.  Anyone else?

Second, it signals the waiter you are ready to eat.  I'm not buying that.  A closed menu is usually what lets a waiter know you're ready.

Third, it keeps soiled napkins off the table.  Now, I can see this being a reason.

But... how do you feel about going to a fancy restaurant and this person you haven't even officially met yet is putting your napkin in your lap for you.  Do you allow this, or are you like my husband and rush to put your napkin in your lap so when the waiter gets there, it's already done. What do you think?

Have a great week!  Please visit my friends at Random Tuesday Thoughts and Happy Tuesday.  And wish me luck on my  HIDA scan today.

I love a good pun!

True.  I used to write all the time when I was teaching.  Now, not so much.

Have a great week!

A Tip for You

Do not get in an elevator if you need to go to the restroom.

Ask me how I know.

Luckily it was a few short minutes, so I didn't have time to truly panic.  I took the stairs after that.

 

How many times did you groan at those?  Hope you have a great week, and don't get stuck in an elevator!  And remember to visit Happy Tuesday and Random Tuesday Thoughts.

It's Tuesday Somewhere

 

I recently dined at an Italian restaurant which had handmade pizzas on the menu.  One of the ingredients really stood out.  It said, "foraged mushrooms."  Now, it's my understanding that foraged means that you go out, search for, and harvest wild food from nature.  Do you think they really have people who go out and do that?  How do they know they are safe to eat and not just some toadstool they found in the park?  I find this description questionable.  What do you think?

The NBA finals start tomorrow, and I'm really looking forward to it.  I'm going to have to root for San Antonio since I'm from Texas.  Will you be watchin, or Nah?

Funny that neither of them made it to the finals this year!
