doesn't ..
when \.,e have comp-
any to eat, then it is a dif-
ferent story.
He \'lill continually comp-
that it is either too
hot or too cold, that the
gra,rey is lumpy or that the
pic crust is dOt as good as
it usurrlly is.
Of cour.3 this embarasscs
not only me, but whoever '"e
::ave for dinner . Thcy of
course insist that every-
thing is just lovely, then
he says that nre bcin1;
very generous, but thQt it
really isn't as good as i 1.
could be .
, he thinks that
this is the way to sho,.- oul'

K. p.
Dear K.P.
Your husband has the
mistaken idea that by
criti6ising your cook-
ing that he is showing
guests that he is
very concerned for their
\velfare ,
Actually all that he is
doing is making them
comfortable, and
them in the position vhere
they feel obligated to
deny all that he has said
and insist that the food
is excellent.
'rhis is creating ex-
actly the opposite ef-
fect that is desired at
a company table.
your husband_ that
it is in poor taste for
him to make any remarks
at all about your cooking.
A pleasant atmosphere
is ::mch more important than
the quality of the food .
Sincerely,
