Well, the Big Yom Kippur Dinner Party is history. All went well, except for the moment that I used the word "tits," referring to my own, not realizing that someone's 13-year old son was in the room.
Anyone for dessert?

Bad form if he uses the word himself - not having gained the subtle skills related to context - but not really bad form hearing a woman use the word

Maybe you should go into private catering for parties of no more than 20 and no less than 4. There is a need everywhere.
What, no doilies?
Posted by: delegatrix on October 9, 2003 08:13 AMbut the plates were cute! and, as people at the cookies, they could be seen. besides, doilies are yucky and suitable only for children's crafts. even if you were just kidding.
