Let me end any controversy here. I make no boast of being more of a lover than the legendary Ramses II, or indeed, any of the pharaohs of the 19th & 20th dynasties of Egypt. Even the ill-fated Ramses III. My name is strictly an homage (pronounced "oh-maj") to those kings and their sexual vitality. On a sidenote, let me say that I didn't think much of Yul Brenner's over the top portrayal of Ramses in <em>The Ten Commandments</em>. Best wishes, E.L. I am no RamsesDr. Flushinpants:

Most Egyptologists agree that Ramses II, with his 99 wives and 101 children, was the original and true Egyptian Lover. How do you respond to this? Mr. Lover,
Perhaps you are aware of the controversy over your name. Most Egyptologists agree that Ramses II, with his 99 wives and 101 children, was the original and true Egyptian Lover. How do you respond to this?

First of all, I must thank you for understanding that "Egyptian Lover" does indeed refer to my love of all things Egyptian, not that I am Egyptian myself. This seems straightforward, but you would not believe how many times I have to clarify that I am not in fact Egyptian. That said, I have numerous loves within Egypt. Many will tell you that Cairo has the most to offer, with its mosques or palaces, or the Pyramids in Giza but I myself have always loved the slower pace of Luxor, in the south, on the bank of the Nile. If I could be there now at sunset, sipping a karkaday juice, that would be lovely. I will say this is what I love most about Egypt today. It might be a different answer another day. I would love to share more with you, but it is now time for <em>24 </em>and Jack Bauer is really in the soup this week. Sincerely, E.L. Lover of all things EgyptRon:

First off, I will assume you are not having a fish course and that you are American. (A fish course has its own ettiqute requirements, and there are some European style differences.) It is helpful if you picture a clockface. Working from left to right, from the 9 o'clock to 3 o'clock axis lay out in this order: Salad fork, dinner fork, dinner plate, dinner knife, soup spoon, teaspoon. At 10 o'clock, you have a salad plate; at 11 o'clock, your bread plate and butter knife; at 2 o' clock, your glassware: water, wine, and champagne. Some will swap the wine and champagne, but I prefer it this way. Finally, you place your napkin upon the dinner plate (fancy fold, of course) and your coffee cup and saucer at 3 o'clock. And don't forget: That soup spoon is also your dessert spoon. A lot of people forget this one. Good luck with the dinner. Let me know how it goes. Warm regards, E.L.

Specifically, I'm to host dinner in my home. Grilling steaks is no problem. However, I'm one of these guys plagued with confusion over setting the table at semi-formal gatherings. Can you explain, once and for all, how I should set the table for this event? Thanks for all that you do, ryan Egyptian Lover,
