Because of my annoyance with the presentation that I've not managed at any of the dinners yet, I feel the need to cut down on the volume of courses and focus a little on how they look. Also I'm feeling lazy - and can't come up with a second listing that isn't particularly contrived feeling to me. Also, additionally, I think that this listing smacks of early summer.
