This is her husband's father who is probably well into his senior citizen years. Seems like a weird way to make a point. |
it's a boost before driving home. no, it doesn't interrupt. |
I agree. Try to be a little more gracious. |
What? I’m 39 and whenever we entertain we always put on a pit of coffee as I get dessert ready to serve and ask if anyone would like tea. This seems pretty standard to me |
I serve coffee with dessert if I'm hosting a holiday meal or a dinner party, but i don't serve either of those things if it's a regular weeknight dinner or a multi-day houseguest. There is coffee and there's probably some ice cream in the freezer or something, help yourself. But I don't "serve" coffee and dessert outside of special occasion meals. And I don't have tea at all (though I'd buy some if I new a guest liked to drink it).
I agree that if you want coffee/tea at a restaurant you should order it with your dessert, not after. |
I am 40 years old and always, always order coffee with dessert. |
45 year old here. On the rare occasions when I order dessert I often get coffee too. When I don’t want dessert but others do, I order a cappuccino or cafe au lait. Everything I order is decaf.
Didn’t know Bourdain ranted about people who order decaf, but I’m not sorry I do it. I had hyperthyroidism for years and couldn’t handle caffeine. I drink coffee because I like it, not because I need a jolt. |
Honestly there’s a little bit of a safety issue. If you’re hosting people and they’ve had a big carby dinner and a couple of glasses of wine, it’s not a bad idea to offer them some coffee before they get in the road home. Holiday meals are so soporific. |
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 |
Some of you don’t know how to be gracious hosts |
I think you are confusing a French cultural truism with sctual truth. Actually it is better to be active after eating, better for your blood sugar. |
Crazy b forgot the meds. |
Exactly! OP-horrors! I am a boomer and have never had coffee in my entire life nor alcohol. But, if someone enjoys drinking coffee, alcohol, whatever, why do you want to dictate their choices and police them.? You sound insanely rigid. Why not life and let live? Do you have some sort of anxiety disorder or something? |
+1. Thoughts and prayers to OP during this trying time. |
Nailed it. |
