silence/valor

This is one of my favorite quotes, one I keep at my desk at work:

"The real art of conversation is not only to say the right thing in the right place, but also to leave UNSAID the wrong thing at the tempting moment."

Claire,  Yes, to keep one's mouth shut is the better part of valor.  My Mom
made the best gravy, but her method takes too long, I'm with you.....just
open a can and burn the label. If she noticed the difference, she never said
peep.   LOL

Well, I'm off to the kitchen for a turkey sandwich,
Marilyn

HI Gene,

Heard this discussion over the years many times.   My father was a chef in
an NYC hotel and he learned to keep his mouth shut.  His advice to me was to
buy a certain brand in a can and burn the label.  He is gone many years now
and I still buy on his advice if it is my turn in the kitchen.  How do you
feel about oyster dressing, common in the East and the bane of all children
who will never again eat dressing in their life?



Here is an after the feast link that is fitting. For Christmas I hope all
get seeds and plants and gift certificates in the best catalogs or tools
they love and a speedy spring.  We here in NY have six inches of snow and
week of sub-freezing temps.
