At the time we are too absorbed in the fetid detail of the moment to spot where it is leading us. But not this time. I was experiencing one of my dad’s deafening moments. If my life could be understood as a meal of many courses (and let’s be honest, much of it actually was), then I had finished the starters and I was limbering up for the main event. So far, of course, I had made a stinking mess of it. I had spilled the wine. I had dropped my cutlery on the floor and sprayed the fine white linen with sauce. I had even spat out some of my food because I didn’t like the taste of it.“But it doesn’t matter because, look, here come the waiters. They are scraping away the debris with their little horn and steel blades, pulled with studied grace from the hidden pockets of their white aprons. They are laying new tablecloths, arranging new cutlery, placing before me great domed wine glasses, newly polished to a sparkle. There are more dishes to come, more flavors to try, and this time I will not spill or spit or drop or splash. I will not push the plate away from me, the food only half eaten. I am ready for everything they are preparing to serve me. Be in no doubt; it will all be fine.” (pp.115-6).","author":"Jay Rayner","tags":["absorbed","apron","courses","crucial-points","cutlery","deafening-moments","debris","floor","food","grace","identify","linen","lives","main-event","meal","mess","moment","plate","pockets","retrospect","sauce","splash","starters","tablecloth","taste","time","waiters","wine","wine-glass"],"id":46714,"author_id":"Jay+Rayner"},{"text":"If no one ever took risks, Michaelangelo would have painted the Sistine floor.","author":"Neil Simon","tags":["risks","floor","took "],"id":63099,"author_id":"Neil+Simon"},{"text":"If you fall, I'll be the there.","author":"Floor","tags":["fall","floor","funny","random"],"id":64992,"author_id":"Floor"},{"text":"It's only out of reach when you choose to keep your feet flat on the floor.","author":"Lana M.
