I’m Terry Ewing, your lifestyle etiquette expert, here today to talk to you about table etiquette settings, manners, and some classic mistakes. This is a typical, um, table setting both formal or informal.  You have your bread plate.  You have your salad fork, dinner fork, your dessert fork and spoon, which you can use for your coffee.  And then, on the other side, you have your dinner knife with your soup spoon.  Your napkin, of course, is in the middle of your plate when you start off and you take your napkin and you place that on your _________ before every meal.  Proper etiquette or manners at a table would include never ever chew with your _________  open.  Never pick your _________, _________, or put your _________  on the table, or _________  to try to _________  something on the dinner table—it’s unacceptable.  Or even _________  your hair—that is _________  as well.  A huge common mistake that you should really try to avoid is never to use someone’s bread plate or use their wineglass or water bottle.  What you can do for a quick tip is to always do the OK signs.  The b on the left and the d on the right.  It’s a quick tip to remember that your bread is always on your left, and the drink is always on your right.  You’ll never ever ever be mistaken at a dinner party by taking someone’s bread or their wineglass. So again, this is Terry Ewing, your lifestyle etiquette expert, here talking about table manners, mistakes, and different scenarios.
