Steve Bannon was fired/resigned (news sources are still conflicted).
He was not my pick in our "White House Survivor" office poll, aka "Who will Trump axe next?", so I lost  |

Yacek, throw yourself under a bus.

I got soaked in the rain so I made hot chocolate and burned my tongue.

For once an FWP that, for me, actually is a real problem:
Amuse bouche.
So what's not to like about a freebie appetizer and glass of wine?
If there are things you cannot eat, either due to a medical condition or simply because you don't like X,Y, or Z, you choose your meal carefully, so that you can enjoy the evening.
Then along comes the 'Greetings from the kitchen'... which as it is designed to showcase the chef's skill and creativity often is based on 'novel' ingredients, and unfortunately often something I cannot eat.
The chef usually comes out and asks you how you liked the amuse bouche...
Refusing the freebie appetizer is churlish, not eating it impolite, you risk offending the chef...
I've come to dread what is intended to be a nice thing, so much so that I've stopped going to a few very good restaurants because of the akwardness it presents.
A very 'FW' FWP...
