I hear you have some. (Edited for peace and justice in the world)

seanherron commented 9 years ago

I too would like to know this.

khandelwal commented 9 years ago

Rule The First: Turn the hood on while cooking. Rule The Second: Don't use metal spoons with the non-stick cookware. Rule The Third: Don't put your feet on the coffee table. Rule The Fourth: Don't walk on the lawn to get from the car to the front-door.

So these rules are for you ... and your wife? I bet she's got some rules, too.

p.s. I only see merit in Rule the Second.

khandelwal commented 9 years ago

There will be no judgement on the rules, thank you very much.

seanherron commented 9 years ago

What is the coffee table used for, then? Decoration?

stephanieosan commented 9 years ago

Is there ever an appropriate time to walk on your lawn, or is that also for decoration?

khandelwal commented 9 years ago

The coffee table is used to place your nice porcelain tea cup and saucer on during high tea.

It is allowed to walk on the South lawn if would like to admire the lovely dogwood tree in front of the house. It is never appropriate for strangers to walk on the front lawn.

The North lawn can be used delicately. Croquet, bean toss, horse shoe, bowling are allowed but participates must be dressed formally.

And you are calling me a pretentious suburbanite?

You heard it here first, folks. Lawn sports outing on Memorial Day Weekend 2015 at Shashank's. Wimbledon dress code applies.

iuloshi commented 9 years ago

Bow ties and floppy hats mandatory.

@jpyuda If you're agreeing to cater the event, we'll make it a thing! All out-of-towners must agree to show up.

theresaanna commented 9 years ago

Alright, for real, I personally totally feel these rules.

1) Let's prevent all those food smells from lingering. 2) Its like throwing away money! You'd ruin the pan/pot. 3) You walk in DC in shoes. You sometimes, inevitably, walk in shoes in the house. That's DC grime on the floor. You don't want it on a table. 4) Yeah, cause then you'd make an ugly path where the grass is trampled and/or gone.

Sure, why not?
