Imagine you are at home, enjoying a beautiful summer evening. A light breeze blows, the scent of summer flowers is all around …

You’re in the kitchen, getting ready to go outside to grill and looking forward to an enjoyable meal with loved ones.

Before heading outside, you consider setting the kitchen table. 

And, then you remember…
