Just finished the Teas section and onto the Brunch section, oh goody! /gen

Do with the sections were organized better with titles paragraphs like "small tea parties" or "arrivals", etc.

Loving the tea section. Gives notes on hosting mostly, but also some on being a guest.

"The heart of hospitality is making people comfortable and happy under your roof. All our rules concerning manners are based on that idea and ideal. It is simpler to follow the long-accepted standards, but it is wiser and kinder to adapt them to suit the moment when common sense dictates a change."

Just learned what a demitasse is. I need a set.

The recipes are unhinged, but so many great tips in here!

Having the two hosts keep a tea cart or side table so that they don't have to leave the table is such a great tip.
It's also interesting because this is all being told from the perspective of an opinionated Betty Crocker, but Betty Crocker actually never existed. So it's interesting to think who is opinions these actually are...
