In Sunday's Corner Table column, how to recover from dining gaffes.
I felt better about my family's Creamer Incident when I got a note from a reader who said that she once set a bread basket on fire after its paper napkin got too close to a candle.
Anyone else have any good embarassing stories?
Blogs are so interactive where we get lots of informative on any topics nice job keep it up !!

My husband and two team members were rewarded for being the #1 with dinner at any restaurant of choice in the metro area and spouses were included. I suggested Sign of the Dove (shows how long ago this was!), but we were overruled with Windows on the World (not even Cellars in the Sky - but that's for another story).
I don't recall where it was in service, but one of my acrylic nails went flying off my finger and landed underneath the table. Hey, those things were expensive, and besides, I could fix it right there.
So, I'm looking underneath the table and realize it's too dark so I grab my lighter (another sign of how long ago this was)and use it to look around.
After 30 seconds, I still didn't find it, but smelled this awful chemical smell of "Ack! My thumbnail is on fire." Here I'm in the middle of WOTW on a packed Saturday night with a mini-torch on my right hand.
Thankfully, these were the "longer burning time" length nails and I extinguished it before the actual thumb was burnt.

Sirloin Saloon: Manchester, NH
The place is a sub-par dining experience that bills its food more-so than it should.
They do have quite the salad bar. So I go up to the salad bar and they have "squirt bottles" of oil, vinegar, balsamic, etc...I decide to dress my salad, when all the sudden the oil comes out like a firehose. The tables aren't exactly spaced far apart & it wound up over a poor guy in a Ralph Lauren button down. I apologized profusely, offered to buy him a beer, he declined and shrugged it off.
