We are beginning to wonder whether a servant girl hasn't the best of it after all. She knows how the salad tastes without the dressing, and she knows how life's lived before it gets to the parlor door.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I had always been told cooking was a servant's job.
To this day I clean better than most maids.
I come from an immigrant culture. I'm only a couple of generations away from having been a servant girl myself.
I believe in servant leadership, and the servant always asks, 'Where am I needed most?'
Something I didn't even know was on my bucket list has been achieved. I have cooked Thanksgiving dinner with Martha Stewart. I vow to follow the gospel of her teachings and do my very best in the remarkably less glamorous kitchen of my own home... without the luxury of magically appearing prep bowls filled by a staff of sous chefs.
I'm pretty awesome at making salad dressings.
I'd never really thought of eating salads before.
Some readers tell me, 'We always treated our maid like she was a member of the family.' You know, that's interesting, but I wonder what your maid's perspective was on that.
If a servant strives to please his master and studies and takes pains to do it, I believe there are but few masters who would use such a servant cruelly.
These days, meals are more open to personal preferences. People like to serve themselves.
