Default Speaking of Cheddar Cheese

Not really. I only mention cheddar cheese because it figures into the
story.

A couple of nights ago one of my neighbors, who just arrived in town
(he's a seasonal resident) invited me and another neighbor over for a
little get together.

I get over there and he's got a little bowl of mixed nuts, some sliced
cheddar, hummus and crackers sitting on the kitchen table. And a bottle
of wine.

He's obviously new to entertaining. This despite being at least 60
years old. He had a bottle of wine but no way to open it. Gee, how
were you planning to open it?

The other neighbor hadn't shown up yet so he called her. Do you have a
corkscrew?

We got the bottle open and she was looking in the cabinets, do you have
any glasses? Nope. So I walked back across the street and got three
wine glasses.

Who invites people over for wine and snacks without having a way to open
the bottle or glasses to serve it in?

It's sort of like the stone soup legend. I'll provide the stone, you
provide everything else. LOL

BTW, I ate some of the hummus on a cracker to be polite. I am not a
fan. Chickpeas yes, hummus, not really.
