Default (2010-11-09) NS-RFC: Plate up...

I agree, Ophelia. From the time they could sit at the table, I served
the family, uh, family style. Plating someone else's food seems
presumptuous. Now, if by "plating" you also mean each person serves
his or herself from the counters buffet-style, that's another thing,
but I still wouldn't do it in my house. Just everyone sit your butts
down and stay sat down until everyone is finished with their meal. Oh,
and take our a cell phone and start texting and you'll be digging it
out of the trash can.
