We had a few friends over for dinner the other night...good friends who are delightful to talk with and who enjoy food. (I love to cook for people who love to eat.) The "meat" course was grilled shrimp. (Hey, I live in Texas...we grill almost everything.) Some shrimp were skewered on rosemary twigs, the remaining were placed in a fish grill, all were marinated in a tequila-lime-honey sauce. The result was really tasty shrimp. It takes longer to write about it than it did to cook the shrimp. Of course, it was also messy. Shrimp like this just mandates picking it up so you can get every bite.
The next morning I knew I needed to wash those napkins. As I spread them out to use the pre-wash spray a pattern appeared. No two napkins had the same one. One napkin only had "stains" in one quarter of the napkin. One only was stained along one edge. One had only one spot on it (I don't know whose that was....but obviously it belonged to the neatest eater....or someone who surreptitiously licked fingers). One napkins was pretty much stained over the entire surface. Only one had stains on both sides of the napkin. I have no idea what this means....but I'm sure some psychologist could do a paper on napkin usage and
group dynamics!
