I hope your mother doesn't know you do that.
Mine doesn't even like it when I lick the plate clean.
She says she didn't bring me up to do that.
But she does make these fantastic sauces. My wife also makes them, but she
only sees my mother occasionally, and has not yet learned how to make the
full set.
She (ie. my mother) also says, she hopes I don't do that at business
lunches.
Well, of course I don't. I know how to behave if money is at stake, believe
you me.
