As usual, the truth is somewhere in between. At 5:30 this morning, I
did not take a lot of time to make a proper presentation of my
breakfast. In the case of the chicken dinner in question, I probably
would not have spent a lot of time making it look pretty if it was just
for me.

OTOH, even if it is just the two of us, my wife and I will take a few
extra seconds to make a good looking meal for us. As we use the "good"
wine glasses, etc.
