TSO and a Wine Auction

2014/12/182014/05/13

Dear IWFS Members,

As part of our city’s strong heritage many of us have wine cellars and we also Participate in the Rich artistry provided by the TSO. You may be interest in Donating some of the hidden gems tucked in the back of your cellar tor the TSO Wine Auction. All in support of a good cause; the TSO’s school and community programs and of course the the consumption of wine. There may also be some fabled Chateaux Petrus you might wish to purchase. I’ve never had any. So, I’ll be over later….RH

Put a Fork in it…!

The American and Canadian way of using fork and knife is inefficient and inelegant. We need a new way.

You have nice table manners. For an American.
A European businessman once paid me that backhanded compliment at a dinner in London. If only I’d had the presence of mind to chomp a few dinner rolls into a doughy mess before turning to reply, wide-eyed and slack-jawed, “Pffffardon me? Fwwwahat did you say?” Instead, I asked what I’d done to deserve such “praise.”
