| Do you consider yourself a crafty person? Do you spend countless hours of your free time working on craft projects that only YOU get to enjoy? While there is absolutely nothing wrong with putting tons of time into something you love, you should really ask yourself a simple question: wouldn’t this time—and my craft—be so much greater if it could bring in some extra cash? |
Again many rules could be applied on the proper placement of utensils once in use. In order to simplify these rules, here are the basics. Essentially, used flatware should never touch the surface of the table. You wouldn't want to dirty the tablecloth, or get other material on the utensil. Make sure your fork and knife are well balanced on the plate when pausing for a drink. If the pause should last longer, make sure you place the fork on the left and the knife on the right, so that they crossover the center of the plate.
Be prepared not to leave any utensils in a non-flat dish when the busboy comes around to clear the table. The soup bowl, the shrimp cocktail, or the teacups are all presented with a plate underneath; therefore use them to place the used flatware. For those of you who want a second serving, place the knife and fork on the right side of the plate, so that there is room for the food. Finally, when you are finished, pair up the knife and the fork horizontally or diagonally in the plate. The cutting edge of the blade should be pointing towards you. As for the fork, it can be placed upwards or downwards.
Enjoy your dining experience and remember to always project a confident image, as it is one of the keys to success.
