Confession:
When at home alone (i.e. frequently) I:
(a) usually cut up my spaghetti (& fettucini & linguine) with a knife before eating it to make it easier to pick up with the fork; and
(b) often hold my wine glass by the 'bowl' of the glass instead of the stem smothing it in warmth and grubby finger marks.
Yes, at home I fail the sophistication and foodie tests repeatedly.
My napoli sauce with chilli does rock though.
