Forbidden items in my home...

Oh c'mon. Have you tried it lately??

:lol: Heck no!

We've stopped allowing shoes for visits from the in-laws mainly. My father-in-law insists on putting his feet up when sat on our couch, and refused to take his muddy shoes off our light coloured footstool. The thing got ruined anyway, but we've since asked them to bring slippers and despite his growling they now do.

Exactly!
I have carpets in every room.. and it is HARD to remove some persistent dirt from them. Sometimes people don't pay attention on what they carry in from the outside. And at those times I'm the one who has to clean "the thing" from the carpet. Just imagine seeing that your guest left a little "something" behind: cat mess that he/she step in before they entered your house..
(And I'm the one dealing with it)
That's why: Shoes off at all times!
(You'll get indoor slippers) lol

Blue cheese is just a high-hat term for "mouldy cheese." Ick.

As far as shoes go, I insist on people wearing them at all times. I don't have carpets, and there's lots of bare wood beween rugs where it's very very easy to pick up a splinter. Barefootedness is undertaken at one's own risk.

I discourage the wearing of stiletto heels though -- the wooden floors are mostly pine, and stilettos leave deep indentations in the boards. Baseball spikes and hobnailed army boots are likewise verboten.

Sounds like you have very colourful guests - I can't remember the last time anyone tried to enter my home in stilettos, baseball spikes or hobnailed army boots! Not even golf shoes.

Everyone must come through our garage...and through the showers...to enter our home. After disinfecting...silk pajamas will be provided...oh...and slippers to keep bare feet from sticking to the plastic carpet covering. You can smoke...but may need to wade snow down to the drainage ditch at the bottom of the hill where you belong. Of course..then double sterilized to get back in again. We do hope that you will visit soon and often. Sorry..absolutely no waivers for children or the elderly.
See you soon?

Eastern European made "Absinth," it goes directly to my sink.

I was having this discussion with a friend who generally has good taste. However when I told her that absinthe was not supposed to be bright green, she responded saying that it was genuine absinthe and she drank it the real way "with a sugar cube and fire." I was saddened.

Cheese is just a high hat term for moldy milk.

I can certainly understand why the VIOLENT stuff that the modern Bohemians call "Absinth" must be mixed with caramelized sugar to be palatable.

At our new place in Charlottesville, VA we offer traditional service at table, with a fountain of ice water etc, and our barman's Absinthe Suissesse must be tasted to be believed.
We are unfortunately limited in the Absinthes that we may offer due to the limited choices offered us by the Alcohol Monopoly (the Virginia Bureau of Alcoholic Beverage Control), but we do stock
"Absente", "Grande Absinthe", "Kubler", "Lucid" and of course "Pernod"

When I was in Prague, the rest of my chorus was all drinking the green substance. I refused to touch it. I am holding out for real absinth properly prepared.
