It is polite. Telling another guest that what one just did might be rude is, um, rude.marvelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07266807100607637404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8464904.post-57094221739278694182013-10-15T06:07:23.081-07:002013-10-15T06:07:23.081-07:00Don't give it another thought.Don't give it another thought.Anvilcloudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07974744042579564912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8464904.post-29381189447913988082013-10-10T21:00:43.814-07:002013-10-10T21:00:43.814-07:00I have some food allergies (live in Maryland, alle...I have some food allergies (live in Maryland, allergic to crab, shrimp et al) so I spend a lot of time questioning ingredients in cold salads, egg rolls, soups. I am beyond second guessing because sometimes people just get to say no, for whatever reason.

That's not something a good host would want.<br /><br />Speaking of fancy kitchens, we were in Portland recently, and Ted was in a kitchen with an ever so very slanted floor, and on the bottom of the slant was a drain. You can sweep your crap there easily, or mop, or throw water on the floor, and it gets captured. Pretty amazing.Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00653383372182667361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8464904.post-14575265649981691272013-10-08T06:43:52.571-07:002013-10-08T06:43:52.571-07:00Oh, heck no!

She did that in order for you to have the chance to refuse if it was something you didn't care for.<br /><br />Actually, I'm surprised she didn't offer regular tea also. A lot of people don't care for mint tea, me included. Makes me feel like I'm drinking mouthwash.Nancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17627214346956206283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8464904.post-77219647883036156682013-10-06T23:58:49.911-07:002013-10-06T23:58:49.911-07:00If it was a main part of the meal I would at least...If it was a main part of the meal I would at least give it a try and take a small portion but refusing a drink would not be a big deal I would think. I mean it is just some hot water with leaves in it, not a five course dinner that took hours to prepare.Awesome Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03523320907836876707noreply@blogger.com
