Welcome to Birth of a Notion a blog that has a smattering of life but mostly a blog about the art of all things Letter writing. Fountain pens, Fine stationery (oh my favorite) and things pen pal related. You can check the blog wrap and the section that says We Support for Letter writing clubs and more information on all things letter.

Saturday Six #11



1. You’re at an Italian restaurant on a first date: how do you eat your spaghetti: do you cut it with the folk or roll it onto the tines? (And eating something else isn’t an option!) I roll it on the tines. I have always eaten my Sketti that way.

2. You’ve prepared a nice soup for dinner when you happen to hear a news story that bay leaves, even after being cooked, are sharp enough to tear internal organs when eaten whole. (It’s true.) Do you fish them out of your masterpiece, warn your guests in advance not to eat them, or just assume everyone knows to not eat the extra greenery? Oh I would be fishing them out and warning my guests. Who wants to have company get that harmed from eating soup.

3. You’re having dinner at a nice restaurant with a group of friends and acquaintances. The sauce of your main course is the best you’ve ever tasted. You’ve eaten most of the dish, but you’ve got part of a roll and some sauce left. Do you sop up a little sauce for one more taste?
I am with friends so yes of course I do. All of my friends enjoy good food as well and would give me a look if I didn't enjoy.

4. This time, you’re at a seafood restaurant with folks you don’t know as well. Do you order a crab or lobster, a dish that would involve a lot of shell-cracking and a potential minor mess, or do you stick with something cleaner like a nice grilled fillet? Well I am majorly allergic to shellfish so even if I was with my husband I wouldn't order anything thats in a shell. So Fillet it is!

5. You’re invited to a cookout by a friend, but when you get there, you discover that the main thing being cooked, that everyone else is a big fan of, is something you don’t like. Would you still eat a serving to be neighborly, or try to talk your way out of that one dish? I would have a small portion just to be friendly. I have done it before, I will do it again.

6. You’re back at a seafood restaurant with friends. Unknowingly, you order a fish that is served whole, head and all. Do you send it back or just deal with it? Boy this seafood restuarant is popular. (I never go to them due to risk of cross contamination of shell fish) however if I got a whole fish head and all I would send it back. EW.
