Re: Dear Miss Manners
When I was a kid Mom always plated food. Now as an oldster who entertains quite a bit, I almost always serve family style so folks can eat as little or as much of an item as they choose. I vote for cutting before cooking as Mareless suggested.

How is it the lengthy investigation into all the above failed to find her guilty of the charges you present? And by these rightly rigorous standards, you of course, couldn't have voted for Trump, so you didn't vote? Or voted for Stein or Johnson?
