We had a friend (NOTE the had) who would come into my side of the island and
watch me cook. She would comment about how well I could slice vegetables.
I do not consider slicing veg to be an art. We invited them for
Thanksgiving dinner one time and she watched me carve the turkey, grabbing
bits to eat the whole time. GROSS! I made it clear that she had to get out
of my kitchen. BUT, mom always let me do it!! I am NOT your mom and if I
was, you would have better manners!! Sometimes you think fondly of old
friends and realize how much you do NOT miss them.

My biggest rule is be helpful or be out of the kitchen!!!
