Sharing tips for maintaining professionalism during business meals: Avoid garlic-heavy dishes, finger foods, spicy foods, difficult-to-pronounce dishes, deep-fried foods, the most expensive dish on the menu, frequent order changes, and hard-to-chew foods. Stay sharp and considerate! #BusinessEtiquette #Professionalism #CareerAdvice

The intrinsic essence of a kitchen is to bring the family together. Some families, everyone comes together at once to put some effort in the cooking, while some families, everyone takes turn to monitor the progress of the cooking. One way or the other, the kitchen is a natural place of belonging. This brings me to some point that families who eat together on the dining table are only being PERFORMATIVE, because the thing is NOT everyone might be hungry at the same time. But everyone wants to have it in mind that cooking is done, everyone wants to ensure that food is not unavailable, everyone wants to ensure they have done their part in bringing food to the ‘table’. What point am I driving at? Kindly check the comment section to see the point👇🏿

Ever wondered how to subtly signal your satisfaction or dissatisfaction with a meal without saying a word? Look no further! 🍽️ The position of your knife and fork on your plate can speak volumes.
