Nancy Mitchell is owner of the Etiquette Advocate, a firm that provides etiquette and protocol training. She has composed sixteen video segments that provide an extensive overview of dining etiquette. The first video begins with an introduction and the remaining fifteen videos cover everything from the invitation and RSVP to the toasting rules with proper dining etiquette mixed in between. Each video was very informative, but some information was just common sense no-no’s, such as taking medication, picking your teeth, and applying lipstick while seated at the table. I learned details from each presentation including the introductory. In the introduction Ms. Mitchell describes her firm in Washington, DC as an organization that provides …show more content…
This is done many times throughout the meal. In European style cuts are still made one at a time but the fork stays in the left hand and the knife stays in the right. Taking a drink or getting a bite of bread would be the only time the utensils would need to be put down while dining European style. Soup is dipped from a 12 o’clock position, drug across the rim, and brought to the mouth to sip from the edge of the soup spoon. Between bites the soup spoon can be left in a shallow bowl called a soup plate, but should be placed on the liner if the soup is served in a bowl or cup. When finished with the main course the utensils should be placed in a 10:20 clock position on the plate. In American style dining the knife and fork are close together and parallel, with the tines of the fork up and in the European style the fork tines face down. If a salad course was served and the salad knife was not used it should still be placed on the salad plate when finished. At no time should a used utensil be placed back on the table.
The two styles do share the same place setting and the grip of the utensils. Spoons are held as you would grip a pencil. When a knife is being used to make cuts it should be held with the index finger placed in the jointed area where the handle of the knife meets the knife blade. The exception to this rule is the fish knife. It is
The best place to begin the discussion regarding the family meal and how it has changed is to discuss where the idea of dinner originated. A fairly new concept, dinner came about roughly 150 years ago. While many people consider family mealtime to be a “natural phenomenon; it is a social construction.” (Carroll, xvi) During colonial times the family functioned as one unit, with everyone in the family having a
The first video watched was Corporate Communication BUS 210, “Introduction to Corporate Communication” and right at the beginning I had to pause the video and make sure I had the paper structured correctly. Once the video began and the individual started speaking “The goal of this course is to teach you how to apply the concepts of effective communication in the business setting.” (Saylor Academy, n.d.) I had to watch that section repeatedly to ensure I had the information noted correctly, as the gentleman was a fast speaker. Using this method took me eight minutes to watch a two-minute video. It was the same with each video I watched. I did not feel as if the method became easier

Therapeutic METHOD (with citation): Using a compensatory approach will allow the client to engage in the meaningful task of performing meal-prep and cleanup in her own kitchen. With the guidance of an occupational therapist, registered (OTR), Mrs. Hernandez will learn how to use an enlarged-handle knife in a natural setting (Deshaies, 2013) by preparing the vegetable pasta dish for her and her husband (minimal cutting to see her tolerance with the assistive device). The OTR will teach the client work simplification strategies in meal prep task using the enlarged-handle knife, enlarged-handle pans, and the cibocal assistive food cutting board to maximize effective gross grasp and avoid ulnar deviating pressures (Deshaies, 2013). Additionally, OTR will reinforce the training with proper body mechanics and posture (Deshaies, 2013). The OTR will not only demonstrate but also provide both verbal and written instructions on the proper use of the assistive devices, how to avoid static positioning, and positions of deformity, which may apply significant force to the MCP joints (Deshaies, 2013).

Immediately following the class, Mr. Hallman and the Dean of the Hospitality School, Mr. Saboe invited me to participate in this event, even though I had not met the formal requirements or training typically necessary. Furthermore, Mr. Hallman waived the requirement for me to participate and I quote him directly, “Although we typically require students to have completed our dining room class before participating, I waived that requirement based on Ms. Perkins’ level of professionalism, high energy, and solid communication skills.”

One portion that made an impression and affected my outlook on improving the human condition centered on the obstacles in conveying modern public health interventions to vulnerable populations. For various reasons, these are out of reach for many; regardless that effective resolutions to some of the problem appear to be straightforward (Rx for Survival, 2005a). Although I may not be able to make a contribution to the issues presented in the video, there are sure to be causes closer to home that I would now be interested in seeking out.

I. Intro A. Attention Getter: M.F.K Fisher, an American food writer once said “Sharing food with another human being is an intimate act that should not be indulged in lightly.” B. Revealed Object and Speaker Credibility: A Spatula represents a variety of things in the food culture.

The Dinner Party is an iconic work of art that honors historical women from the Western Civilization. It was executed between 1974 and 1979 by Judy Chicago and with help from hundreds of volunteers. It features a large open triangular table, each side measuring 49 feet (14.9 meters). The table is set on a porcelain floor on which 999 names of historical and mythical women are inscribed. There are 39 place settings, 13 on each side, and each one represents an important mythical or historical woman (different from the ones on the floor). Each place setting consists of a table cloth, a plate, a chalice and eating utensils. The eating utensils and the chalices are all the same, but the plates and the table cloths differ from woman to woman that
