" How to Serve Breakfast in Bed YOU&amp;#039;VE PROBABLY SERVED BREAKFAST in bed before. Mother&amp;#039;s Day, perhaps. Problem is that Mama will still love you even if you commit grand theft auto, so a slapdash tray of Cap&amp;#039;n Crunch and Sunny Delight won&amp;#039;t faze her a bit. The lady friend, however, may be a bit more critical, which is why we&amp;#039;ve turned to Ivor Spencer. Spencer runs a butler school in London that&amp;#039;s sent good men to places like Buckingham Palace and New York&amp;#039;s St. Regis Hotel. After 20 years of educating butlers, he knows a thing or two about breakfast in bed. After reading the following, you will, too.  Spencer is specific and unyielding regarding the presentation of breakfast. &amp;quot;The tray the food will be served on should be a proper breakfast tray, one that has baskets on either side and can be set on someone&amp;#039;s lap while they are propped up in bed.&amp;quot; Use a standard flat tray and you&amp;#039;ll be kicking crumbs out of your sheets for days. &amp;quot;And, of course, a flower in a small vase is mandatory.&amp;quot; Stick to simple fare--toast, jam, and fruit, which are &amp;quot;easy to handle and can be shared.&amp;quot; Steer clear of dangerously sloppy food, like oatmeal and runny eggs.  On certain occasions, butlers are faced with a rather awkward situation. &amp;quot;Sometimes,&amp;quot; says Spencer, &amp;quot;we serve breakfast to a lady who is not wearing any pajamas, and when she sits up, her breasts may be exposed.&amp;quot; Good heavens. &amp;quot;We have always instructed our pupils to continue serving, though they should stare at the wall while the lady is uncovered.&amp;quot; You may want to handle it differently. One more thing: When it comes time to pour the coffee, be sure to do it away from the bed; second-degree burns have a way of being really unsexy. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
