Yesterday was tough

I can second the "meal comraderie" notion. I had lunch with a business guest yesterday, and I felt extremely awkward drinking my tea while he ate a country bacon cheeseburger with french fries. A small part of me was obviously salivating because I love french fries and cheeseburgers. However, more importantly, our conversation was not as robust as in previous meetings. Maybe because I as self-conscious about having tea in front of him. In any case...I can appreciate a nice meal with friends and family that much more.
