    Reblogged this on Blogfinger and commented:

    It’s too early for dinner. Americans always arrive too early. The French know how to eat: go slow and savor dinner; a sip of wine and one small bite at a time. Then put down your fork and take a moment.

    Try to speak French to the waiter, but he won’t understand. I say “beurre” but he acts like he doesn’t understand. I took 6 years of French. I can say “beurre.”

    He says, “Speak English.” I say, “Butter please.”

    He says, “OK.” They’re like that, but they sure can cook.
