thanks for the pics Spreet!

Having a first college event in December is pretty exciting I must say. I was glad to have Spreet and Jenny by my side in a pool of strangers. I guess I can say I had my first college learning experience today. :)

What did I learn? Well, let me teach you some good manners and self-grooming tips.

1. Always walk like you want to impress someone important to you.

2. Girls - Before putting make-up on, figure out if it is for day or night

3. When drinking soup, scoop outwards with spoon before drawing back to mouth.

4. Place soup spoon in bowl or on plate beside bowl once finished.

5. Use utensils that are furthest away from plate and slowly move inwards as the courses are served.

6. Place folded napkin on the lap with the folded end facing toward the body.

7. Loosely fold the napkin when leaving the table and place it on the right hand side of your dining area. Left side indicates that you are done with all the courses. DO NOT place napkin on the chair.

8. Only start eating when the host starts, when you are given the signal to start first or when everyone's meal is served.

9. American's have their main course by cutting up everything then placing the knife back down and eating only with a fork in one hand.

10. European's eat with both hands resting on the table at the wrists where both hands are holding a piece of utensil.

11. Place your hand above the mouth of your glass as a signal of not wanting a refill.

12. Always pass food from left to right.

13. When a person asks to pass the salt, pass the pepper as well.

14. To solve the problem or whose bread and glass is whose, bread is always on the left and glasses are always on the right. So do not eat someone elses bread.

15. Lastly, do not split bread into half, spread butter and bite. Instead, peel a bite size piece, spread butter, eat and repeat.

Happy Dining this Christmas!!
