Most refreshing! :cool: Couldn't understand how that big Lag, sorry Toothpick, didn't capsize the glass:eek: Then I saw it rests on that knife chart. My real focus (it's getting poorer by the month..) is on the bottles though :D

The Laguiole is not actually resting on the chart. The martini glass has about 4 ounces of liquid (mostly gin, or course), and the knife is piercing a large garlick-stuffed olive. The olive wood handle is very light.
You recognize the gin, I assume. One of the wine bottles is a Louis Jadot red wine, I don't remember which exactly, but it went well with the Caneton à l'Orange from last night; one was an Argentinian red wine--I did not try it, but the bottle is gone. One is a Mouton Cadet Bordeaux, which we still have; and the big bottle in the back is Australian: Yellow Tail Cabernet Sauvignon. Not expensive, but good.

Oui, Gary. From a former waiter. Well, I'm still a waiter--and a cook. I just don't get paid anymore! ;)

Thanks for the terminology help, Vince; the knife/tool must have been part of the "dowry" my wife brought to our marriage. :) It's puzzling how some of the tasks you used to get paid for you now perform gratis! :rolleyes:

I've also heard it called a "waiter's corkscrew" and a "waiter's key."

Thanks! And, LOL! No, but maybe I should be. :)

I was just in a bit of a goofy mood yesterday and decided to continue the theme today since I was using the same background.
